Floating Plastic Bottle Island

Recently, I went on vacation to one of my absolute favorite places in the world. One day, I was just doing my thing, driving around on a golf cart with a beer and absolutely no thoughts in my head, when I stumbled upon a strange sign that read, “Floating Plastic Bottle Island.” So I turned off the golf cart to take a look at what the sign was referring to, and that’s when I met Richard Sowa. Richart has spent many years building islands out of discarded plastic bottles. I was intrigued, so I whipped out the iPhone 4 and did a spontaneous interview. Man, I was not disappointed. It was worth removing my vacation head and putting on my thinking one for a minute, because Richart is a truly awesome, original, amazing human.

Richart also sings – we met up with him later in town where he sang and played guitar. And guess what? He’s really good. A truly honest voice, coming from a truly genuine place.

I hope you like the interview, and I hope you check out his website, because it’s worth putting on a thinking head for a moment to take a listen and poke around.
