Plastic catalog, in which I collect all the plastic I find in my daily half-mile walk from my home in Southeast Portland, Oregon, to the dog park at Mount Tabor.

two fast food straws, one straw fragment

Grey fragment from my recycle bin handle, which the collection people broke off, and then I ran over it with my car. I know I didn’t get all the pieces. Some probably washed down the storm drain a few feet over. From there, I suppose, to the Willamette River to the Columbia, then the ocean.
