In New York, the Billion Oyster Project is restoring oyster reefs in the harbor. As oysters feed, they filter the water. Their reefs also create homes for fish, crabs, and other marine life, and can help soften waves near shorelines.

Bright, shiny things

In case you’re tired of hearing me complain about mylar balloons, I can assure you that I am, too. But I’m even more weary of seeing them in places where they don’t belong.

In fact, I don’t think these metal-coated-polyester grotesqueries belong anywhere in the world, but especially not on roadsides, in fields, in forests, on public hiking paths, on the Lake Huron shoreline … in all the places I find their garish presence.

Filled with helium, their ribbon leashes slips from fingers; the balloons rise and float until they run out of oomph. Then they fall to earth wherever they happen to be, creating lurid stains that never go away.

It’s a small thing, I know, in the in the whole scope of environmental degradation, but a blight nonetheless.
