Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reefs

I was speechless when I saw this project.  The project was started as a response to the toll that global warming and pollutants have taken on the Great Barrier Reef.  It is hoped that we will realize we are doing to the oceans with our use of plastic.  Hundreds of women across the world have created a reef using yarn and wool.  

My friend Paige took part in this project and went with me to see the display today.  It just blew me away when I saw the results.  They also have created a toxic reef to respond to the escalating problem of plastic trash that is inundating our oceans and threatening marine life everywhere.

Recycle, recycle, recycle and quit using plastic bags.
