We are starting off our Make Your Season event at Kentucky Science Center with a tribute to how we can all make the world a better place. The students of Louisville Male High School’s Ecology class took it upon themselves to show us how quickly we contribute to plastic waste by constructing an actual floating boat made from nearly 3,000 plastic bottles that the group collected in just four short months.

Thanks to our partners at Rumpke, a waste management service, we are now able to proudly display the boat in our World Around Us exhibit. There it will serve as a constant reminder to our community just what can be accomplished if we work together to ensure the health and prosperity of our planet.
