Amanda, I love your art! What a great statement. And I love that your fish actually still look like plastic bags.

I actually knitted a fake plastic fish from plastic grocery bags, but I'm not sure it makes the same powerful statement:

Your bluebottle is gorgeous.

Have you see this poster from Surfrider's Rise Against Plastics campaign? It kind of reminds me of your work.

I want to add a link to an Australian artist's quite beautiful plastic bag art, for anyone who's interested: http://www.johndahlsen.com/thumbs/plastic_bags.html
Beth, I've been checking in on your site for about a year now and I'm glad you're fighting this fight. It helps keep me motivated to reduce my use of plastic. I am starting to hear from others about the huge plastic "continent" floating in the Pacific. The good thing about this is that now I'm not the one informing others about it.

Cool art! And, while perhaps not practical to wear to work, I like the plastic dress. Speaking of Project Runway, Wyndham hotels is being recognized with environmental awards for outfitting their employees in suits/uniforms spun from recycled plastic — mostly beverage bottles.

Hello,
I really like the tree stuffed into an open mailbox flanked with mail.
I stopped almost all of my junkmail, we still get our bills though… – for most companies it is easy to stop the catalogs though. I just call the 1800 number and ask to be taken off of the list.
