#RecycledMississippi

In the summer of 2016, 6 friends sailed down the Mississippi river on a boat made of 800 plastic bottles.

 
 

The Recycled Mississippi expedition aimed to promote public awareness of the need for clean rivers, less landfill waste, and the elimination of single-use plastic containers.
