Tangled in seaweed, buried in sand, washed up in rock pools -- tattered old flip flops are an eyesore on Kenya's beaches, flushed out of rivers or carried across the sea from Asia and beyond. They are the footwear of choice for much of the world but cheap flip flops, like other plastic trash, are polluting oceans and pristine white-sand beaches like Kilifi on the Indian Ocean. Ocean Sole, a Kenyan enterprise, collects and recycles these discarded flip flops and other plastic garbage found on beaches and waterways into colourful sculptures and children's toys.
