In June 2025, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their 23rd poem in a series of public art works entitled Plastic Poetry.
Plastic Poetry is a series of community activations that blends recycling plastic, plastic pollution, beach cleanups, public art, and poetry. The text was written by Valerie Vargas and is an excerpt from her piece in Waterproof, “A House in a Hurricane.”
The five-inch letters are rendered in 14.8 lbs of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from from various community cleanups & collection groups found throughout Miami-Dade County.
