Old dumpsters upcycled into portable swimming pools

With New York City going through one of the hottest years on record, Mayor Bloomberg has given the green light to install a series of swimming pools in the city made from repurposed dumpsters.

A successful pilot project in Brooklyn last summer from the urban redesign group Macro Sea has convinced the city of the feasibility and three of the pools will be installed on Park Avenue in the middle of Manhatten this August.

Earlier this week Bill Murray christened one of the pools on David Letterman.  Looks like fun!!
