I love reading anything that shows people trying to make a difference for our planet. It is amazing how creative some folks can become when they are inspired by a cause. In this great article the “boat builders” have made their creation out of plastic bottles. Living in Panama I am reminded all the time of the need to recycle as any programs toward tht effort, even here in Boquete are dismal at best. Eric recycles bottles and makes hummingbirds out of recycled materials at our house so at least some effort is there. The recycling center in Boquete is always changing what materials they will take as there apparently is no market for much of it! Unbelievable in this day and age that there is such a lack of understanding of the importance of reusing our resources. Do we have to be sitting in the garbage heap before we will get it?

Anyway here are some folks who are trying to make a statement around the world. See what they came up with here:

Recycled Sailboat

As Usual please share you thoughts so I know you are out there!
