Natural History > What We Gathered

Walking along the White River, I noticed its sandy banks, reaching trees, and shoals of plastic of debris. Plastic bottles and their caps featured prominently.

Here, a river of handmade porcelain bottle caps stands in for the 11,000,000 pounds of plastic trash that wash into Lake Michigan every year or the garbage-truck-load of plastic trash enters that enters the Gulf every minute via the Mississippi River.
