giant PET bottles

Picture_2 Picture_1_4
A newspaper in Sao Paolo reported city police finding a giant plastic bottle floating down the Tiete River (one of the most sickenly polluted waterways in the world, linked to industrialization of the city and the creation of the Guarapiranga - an artificial lake). Turns out the bottle was a test for Sao Paulo artist Eduardo Srur’s PET installation, in which he will put 30 gigantic 40-foot-long inflatable plastic PET bottles along the river’s banks for a month to make a point about the need for recycling and the importance of cleaning up the water. Point made!

While recycling is an important part of the triangle, "reducing" and "reusing" would be better parts to focus on. If we would all use reusable bottles and not continue to contribute to the increase in pollution and greenhouse gases caused by the production and even the recycling process of these bottles it would be even better.

I have loved dogs my entire life. I now own a black labrador/aussie mix and i am training a guide dog puppy who is a lab. I have worked in two vet clinics and i loved beeing able to help animals in need. I have also previously raised and trained a guide dog named Garth who I now miss very much. Because of my love of dogs I decided to start a store for dogs so I can continue to help them.
