Trash Temple

trashtemple2.jpg100 tons of plastic bottles went into making this temporary installation in Rotterdam, Netherlands.  Salzig Design's created this temple to make a visual point.  There are an astonishing 1,500 water bottles consumed each second.  That is 90,000 bottle per minute.  80% of plastic bottles  end up in the trash can! 

With the SIGG bottles being recalled, I think I am with a fellow greenwala member and I will wash my glass iced tea container and use that instead!

    The number of plastic water bottles being used is so staggering. I wish more awareness on this issue helps wean away people from using plastic bottles.
