Recycling is so cool

If you think the recycled tire park at Patapsco Valley State Park is cool, check out the super-sized version I just found out about (via mental_floss) that has been providing fun for Tokyo residents and tourists since 1982. The 3,000 spares donated by the Kawasaki motorcycle company have been reincarnated as tire robots, dinosaurs, bridges, tunnels, dragons, slides, mountains and of course swings for the Nishi-Rokugo park. Love it.
