Island of plastic drink bottles and foam installed at Hoover Alabama's Veterans Park

Crews from the city of Hoover launched and anchored manmade floating island in the lake at Veteran's Park. The 480-square-foot island is made by Floating Island Environmental Solutions of Baton Rouge, La., and is constructed out of recycled plastic drinking bottles, bouyant marine foam, PVC pipe and stainless steel cables and connectors. There are 12 modules that make up the entire island with pre-drilled holes allowing the root ball of the plants to reach the water underneath requiring no chemical fertilization.
