Near my apartment, there’s a kayak rental station called GreenKayak. You can borrow kayaks for free—but with one condition: during your trip, you have to collect trash from the water. It feels amazing to do something good for the environment. But what happens to plastic kayaks when they break? They usually end up in the trash. Not necessarily—an initiative from France turns old kayaks into furniture.
