One Man's eTrash Is Another Man's Treasure

I've said it once and I'll say it again, there is always something fun and interesting outside on the plaza of Rockefeller Center. I've seen some cool things in the past, like an electric fountain and a giant pool of coins, but the installation that has been outside this past week has been one of my favorites. In observation of Earth Day and Earth Week, apparently, a giant mural has been created on the plaza of a nature scene... but a closer look reveals that best part of the project.

The mural is made almost entirely of e-waste; discarded cell phones, blackberries and computer components! Bins were set up on the Rockefeller Center plaza collecting old electronics and then they were turned into art. Not a bad idea! Take a look at some of the close ups:
