New York Subway Recycling "Subways to Seaweed" -Panasonic ecoideasnet

For more eco ideas follow us on: http://www.facebook.com/ecoideasnet

Disposing of old subway cars in the ocean creates habitats for marine life and supports recreational fishing. New York City Transit has provided more than 2,500 retired subway cars to several states along the east coast of the U.S.A. Before the cars are 'buried' at sea, they are stripped of potential environmental contaminants and then steam-cleaned.

For fish? what the fuck... homeless people could live in these.

You could make an awesome house out of a couple of these.

There's so much you could've done than to throw them into the ocean to rot...

I am all for marine life. Some of the people that are rejecting these are psychics and should have their fantasylands ripped to shreds and replaced with corporations.

Dear mta New york city subway, what the fuck is wrong with you. You call that dummbing a thousand of subway car in the ocean rycicling, it call plosion the water, you can clean the car out break every thiing, or no mater you do is still metal, because rust and water dont go together, and those sea plant sucking the toxic, the rust of dose subway cars. All you could it do its rebuild theme, make every thing new but not dump them in the water.
