There already are Cat, sorry to say--at least with these message bottles--they will have some purpose other than just being all that more trash coming down the rivers---I have often thought--the lake that I have my lake cottage on----that in the spring when the water is running high and fast--go to a point below the spillway to launch a bottle down its course--that river runs just about 100 miles down the Ohio--from there--the Ohio of course runs down to the Mississippi--and that in turn runs out to the Gulf---

I can tell ya from running the rivers---the trash someone does dump in some spot along that river or others that are tributaries---some of that trash does make it on out to the ocean eventually----all "shit" does run downhill.

That is a nice story. Reminds me of elementary school when we released helium balloons with an idex card attached.

Will recycling and taxation stifle such art and spiritual catharsis?
