Ancient Rope Knots

from A Beautiful World · host Heather McElhatton

Mark Cook lives in the Orkney Islands, just north of Scotland. A Taxi driver by day, he's discovered the ancient art of tying knots and turns recycled garbage form the sea into beautiful museum-quality thump mats. (He finds plenty of rope to recycle while walking remote Orkney beaches with his dog.) Mark may live on an isolated island, but he's joined the global movement to up-cycle ocean debris and help rid our seas of pollution. More at: www.abeautiful.world
