In this photo taken Monday, April 29, 2013, company owner and marine conservationist Julie Church poses for a photograph on a pile of pieces of discarded flip-flops used in a children's play area at the Ocean Sole flip-flop recycling company in Nairobi, Kenya. The company is cleaning the East African country's beaches of used, washed-up flip-flops and the dirty pieces of rubber that were once cruising the Indian Ocean's currents are now being turned into colorful handmade giraffes, elephants and other toy animals.
