A personal endeavor pertaining to the impact of Industrial Design on our environment in an effort to raise awareness on plastic waste littering our beaches.

There are 663 miles of beaches in the state of Florida. This project is a relatively small sample size but can be assumed to reflect the issue of plastic waste on a larger scale due to its ubiquity.
