UPDATED NEWS : MAY 26, 2010 NTN in Japan to air ecology program
We received an email from Tomoko Sekii of NTN in Japan who is writing on behalf of a Japanese TV production company. Tomoko Sekki has informed us that they are planning to introduce Mr. Rishi Sowa and Spiral Island's recent activity and would request the use of some member photos. This is part of a feature story about ecology in their TV program. About the TV station and the program, please check these URL: www.ntv.co.jp/english/
www.ntv.co.jp/don/ We would encourage all SI members to allow the Japanese TV network to allow the use of your spiral Island related photos. This type of exposure helps Mr. Rishi Sowa and Spiral Island to spread the Spiral Islander ecology message to air on their Japanese TV show. Thank You, Randy McCallum, Network Creator SI Network

Watch the Spiral Island II Grand Opening Video
Take a tour of Spiral Island II and see Richie Sowa's dream turned into a reality for all to enjoy!

What is Spiral Island II? It is a tropical island paradise floating on over 100,000 recycled plastic bottles. It is about 20 meters (60 feet) in diameter, always growing and improving.
Here is the plan:

Invite your friends family and contacts, to join and become a Spiral Islander today and help spread the word about Rishi Sowa's Spiral Island II dream.

From 1998 to 2005, Rishi Sowa hand-built and lived on the first Spiral Island, which floated on over 300,000 recycled bottles! It was destroyed by Hurricane Emily in 2005. Rishi has now built an even better island at Isla Mujeres, Mexico, in a lagoon which offers shelter from bad weather! Rishi will continue to make improvements to the Island, so it will always be a eco-work-of-art in progress!
