Trashy art

Today I rode my bike to the river and paddled for 70 minutes.  Got some surfing behind a southbound tow that must have been behind schedule because the pilot was running his engines all-out.  Towboats going downriver usually let the current do most of the work and use their engines for steering.

More on the topic of plastics in our waterways: here's a website for an organization that sponsors a traveling exhibit of artwork made from waste plastic recovered from beaches and other marine areas.  The exhibit's purpose is to raise awareness of the plastic litter problem and to encourage people to reduce their consumption of products that contain plastics.
