Beautiful Bottle Boats and the Flotsam Flotilla
Trash Looks Like Transport..
Floating in the Pacific Ocean there is an island twice the size of Texas (potentially larger!), made of plastic and garbage. What can be done with this garbage, and the garbage you are about to throw away, it's garbage right? Wrong, it's a resource that can be used to do many things. Like what? Put a plastic bottle in a tub filled with water and what does it do? That's right it FLOATS. Look at what some people have done with not only plastic but that other environmental swear word, styrofoam (it takes 500 years for one cup to dissolve!).
"'El Padrino', the brainchild of recycling enthusiast Jesus Roman of Guaynabo, is a functional kayak made of 2 liter Pepsi bottles lashed to a PVC frame."
Created as part of an event to draw attention to the issues of the coast around San Juan Island, PR. Via Surfrider Foundation
"Balachandra Kurup, who used to work in a Gulf country, thought of a plan not only to reduce pressure on the environment from the PET bottles but also to put them to productive use. He used discarded bottles to fabricate a small rowing boat, in which he rows in the Paravur Lake."
He will build them for people with a three year guarantee and had ferried his own family across Paravur Lake. He states, "PET spares for the boat will always be in stock." via The Hindu
"A floating raft home, made of salvaged lumber and floating on chunks of styrofoam. In the early 1990's The Floating Neutrinos set off across the Atlantic using the only the wind and current to push their boat all the way to the coast of Ireland and then on to France."
via The Floating Neutrinos, log on for their latest adventures and news.
And the greatest of these is The Plastiki (please click and give a pledge!), at this moment still on the seas nearing their destination of Sydney, Australia.
It is a catamaran made of plastic bottles.
(All the Flickr photos from Plastiki here!)
It just crossed the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco, USA. What more proof does anyone need to say, yes stop making more garbage and think of the amazing things it can do. You can also recycle and reduce your use of single-use plastics and say, let's make this a resource that will no longer be called trash but a thing of a different kind of beauty.

Can Pinocchio Come Out and Play? Things Look Like Humans
Did the Blue Fairy create a Robot, or a Real Boy made of wood?
Pinocchio dies saving his family from the nightmarish whale. In return he is gifted with "real" life.
The only thing that changes about him as a soul is what he's made of. Are building materials the ruler on which something is judged to have rights? If he's killed as a "real" boy is it a crime, if so, why not when he's made of wood, if he's still the same "person"? It's easy to assume that most people would think a wooden or metal, artificially created person should have no rights, but what of one made of the same stuff we are? Well this is a children's tale that isn't real. Right?
What if you really have to face this question because someone skips the wood stage and goes right for flesh and bone? Science Fiction? Science yes but fiction still? Let's assemble a Robot:
Brain
Bones
Muscles
Skin and here too.
Eyes
Nervous System and here too.
Heart
Blood Vessels and Blood, here too
Internal Organs and Hands and Feet.
Features they could have built-in...
Helping Children with Autism
A Womb, Great Conversation Skills, Moving Things with their Brains will give them a lucrative future as magicians, Balance by learning from its mistakes, Knowing what it's Tasting (sort of..), Cooking for and Feeding you, Sensing your Every Need, Music Appreciation, Color Identification, Self Defense, Could they look like a Loved One, Could You Fall in Love with One? Would they like a Pet? Buy a Car?
Some of the Prejudice they will face.
This is just a small sample of what is publicly known. I am sure there is much more not revealed. Whether we like it or not it looks like the not-so-far future will have these new human/humanoid rights issues arise.
What side will you take?
