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!
Check out Eduardo's work:
