Jeffrey Scott Holland cancels "Project Egg" to help save oceans

Artist Jeffrey Scott Holland has dispersed green plastic eggs around the country at Easter time for the past two years. The eggs contained his artwork and fun and weird prizes and has apparently been very popular in a "scavenger hunt" kind of way.

Now, just months before his third and most ambitious "Project Egg" was to have hidden eggs all over the planet, Holland has announced he's changed his mind and is shutting the whole thing down.

Why?

Because thanks to the growing throng of voices speaking the truth about plastic's dangers, Holland learned of the sickening damage to the world's oceans being caused in places like The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. We applaud Holland for having the bravery to put aside his career goals in order to help protect the planet, and welcome him as a new soldier in the anti-plastic war!

Here's his press release about it all.
