Canoe made from disposable chopsticks
A former city employee in the Fukushima prefecture town of Koriyama has built a 4-meter 13-ft long canoe from thousands of used disposable chopsticks recovered from the city hall cafeteria. Bothered that perfectly good wood was going to waste after a single use, Shuhei Ogawara — whose job at city hall involved working with the local forestry industry — spent the last two years of his career collecting used chopsticks from the cafeteria.

The longer I explore the minds of paddlers (granted, I am only an amateur with a few years under my belt) the more often I am amazed at the focus that many in the community are able to maintain.
That is an amazing canoe. You should will an award for “most ingenious recycling idea”!
