Tour de France 2012 and recycling


Totally under the spell of the Tour de France 2012 I made some necklaces out of 
the innertubes of my husbands racing bike.  Just tiny pieces of about 0.5 cm to 1 cm for these necklaces. 


I would be such a nice initiative if 'the Tour' would recycle some of the tires that pop during the 'etappes'.

No idea what happens to this expensive natural material after the races. 
Anyone ? 

ps : they can send them to me ;-)

Funny idea - I never thought of using old innertubes. It must have been hard to cut all those little parts!
I really like your artwork :)

There must be meters and meters of tired tires from the Tour, you're right, ask for them! :D I like the contrast between the spiky squares and the smooth beads
