Treasure Island Elementary's Plastic Poetry

In May 2024, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their 16th poem in a series of public art works entitled Plastic Poetry.

Plastic Poetry is a series of community activations that blends recycling plastics, plastic pollution, beach cleanups, public art, and poetry. The text was written by students from Ms. Romeo, Mr. Alblinger, and Ms. Pelaez-Glikman first grade classes from Treasure Island Elementary commissioned by O, Miami.

The five-inch letters are rendered in 4.14 lbs of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from various beach cleanups held throughout Miami-Dade County in 2023.
