Vacuum That Trash!

How cool is this? This vacuum cleaner (an Electrolux, in case you were wondering) has a surface covered entirely with bits of plastic trash picked up from beaches. There are actually 5 of them, each made of plastic from a different ocean (Pacific, Mediterranean, Baltic, North Sea, and the Indian Ocean).  The company worked with local groups who were already picking up trash, and is using the vacuums to continue the dialogue on plastic trash. The coolest part is how different each vacuum looks. Like the Pacific Ocean vacuum doesn’t have any red or orange, because those pieces of trash were mostly eaten by sea birds before they could be picked up.  The only bad news is that the vacuums aren’t for sale… for right now they’re just art. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39870080/ns/world_news-world_environment/
