Yeah, well, to be honest, I’m more concerned about the amount of plastic Coca-Cola, Nestlé and PepsiCo put into the environment, than the amount Saskatoon has put on display. But hey, different strokes.
It seems silly to me. The rocks don’t look like they’re made of plastic so unless someone already knows about them or finds a plaque to read about them they’re just going to assume that they’re big rocks. Which are pretty enough, don’t get me wrong, but rocks made of rock are also pretty, won’t potentially seep micro plastics into the ground, and don’t cost 100k a piece. If the point was to show off what can be made with recycled plastic, making something that looks naturally occurring and visually hiding the fact that it’s plastic is an odd way to do it.
What’s the problem?
The sun will probably break down the plastic, then rain will wash that plastic into the ground/nearby water/river/drinking water.
That’s my guess at how stupid it is to use plastic for this.
EDIT: Oh, and the fact that taxpayer money was used for this. PLASTIC.

I think we can agree both are bad. No need to be snarky about it.
