Imagine doing a beach cleanup on your kitchen table! Well, not exactly, but Plastically Impossible puzzles offer you the challenge in reverse. That’s right, you can put the beach plastic back together with six different challenging designs, all created to make you wonder how these pieces of plastic got onto the beach in the first place.
We’ve all been to a beach and seen plastic, but have you spent time to think about where the products came from? Who might have dropped them? What currents or winds might have taken them from one place to another? Whether young or old, everyone can enjoy putting a good puzzle together, and everyone can help to make a positive difference in the way we impact our environment.
Our “Plastic Buffet” series of puzzles comes from Judith and Richard Lang, who for over 20 years, have picked plastic from the same 1km of coastline on the Northern California Coast, at Kehoe Beach. As artists, they have then sorted their collection of “ocean treasures” by size, shape, color and type, and often scattered them around again in order to make beautiful, yet curious, images of plastic items that the ocean sent back to our doorstep – our beaches.
