For you green parents out there!
Check out this fun way to get your kids to clean up the plastic bottles at the beach or park. This plastic octopus (actually it has six legs so it is more of a sextopus) has no legs until you attach "found" plastic bottles to it. Buy this for "hours of fun" at the beach.
I wonder how many plastic bottles need to be collected to make up for the production of the plastic octopus?

Darragh, This is a great product. I think it would take thousands of octopus bottle creatures to clean up Baltimore's Inner Harbor though...
