SEEing Water Bottles: Eduardo Srur's PET Project

Brazilian artists Eduardo Srur's latest project is bringing some startling visual awareness about water pollution to Sao Paulo.  He has placed 30 inflatable sculptures of giant 2 liter soda bottles along the Tiete River, one of the most polluted rivers in Sao Paulo.  This great picture from Mega Environmentalism encapsulates the impetus for the project:

The large sculptures (which also light up at night) are meant to raise awareness about pollution and clean water.  Just where do all of those plastic bottles we use everyday go?  And, what are the ramifications of this consumption?
