Are you familiar with Mount Trashmore in Virginia Beach? Maybe there could be several Mount Funkos. In the meantime, this is another sounding siren to decrease the use of plastic whenever and whatever small ways are possible in our daily lives.

Oh wow- I hadn't heard of Mount Trashmore, but there might be a deeper dive worth exploring there! We stayed at a campground in the Hudson Valley that was adjacent to a capped landfill, but I don't think the landfill section was accessible. A number of landfills near us have become solar fields too, which is a good reuse of otherwise unusable space. But I agree, we need to consume MUCH less than we are now!!

It's been there a long time. I lived there in the early 80s and it was already a fully complete skate park.
