Recycle Ryoanji

What's old is new again.
While clearing my old computer, tranferring files to my new, I discovered some photographs of a project that deserves to be revisited.

Recycle Ryoanji graced the Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco for 10 days, April 14-24, 2007. I look back at these pics with amazement as I think about the hundreds of people and the over 6,000 white plastic shopping bags who helped make this installation possible. I never could have imagined the numbers of cities, states, countries that have banned or placed a fee on single-use plastic bags. National Geographic reports that now some 127 nations have bag regulations.
