I do not mean to keep posting about New York. However I came across this piece of news the other day and found it so extraordinarily amazing that I felt it had to be shared!
Certain members of the US public were shocked and horrified when they spied tug boats dumping old subway carriages into the ocean. Like I initially did, New Yorker's probably presumed this was just a lazy and Non-Eco friendly way of the state disposing of unwanted goods cheaply.

However Viralforest.com continued to explain that this was a part of a project to restore and create ocean habitats.
This video shows the results brilliantly.

This is the evidence that the plan is successful 10 years on. This beautiful image hides its artificial origin unbelievably well. So don't panic people: for once dumping is restoring that damaged human activity!
