Plastic scraps from Charleston Harbor make for trashy art
Some 7 tons of plastic or rubber litter float in Charleston Harbor at any given time, everything from tire shreds to drink bottles.
This past weekend, pieces from five bags of harbor junk compete for cash prizes near Hilton Head Island.
A group of cadets from The Citadel have entered a diving pelican sculpture in the Port Royal Sound Foundation Recycled Art Contest, to be judged against other schools and groups for a potential $2,000 in prizes.
