"Infinity Project"

Planets have been tossed into volcanoes in Hawaii and New Zealand. Josh has put them in the flower pots that line the streets of Greenfield, Massachusetts, and recently placed one inside the highest turret of the Chambord Castle in the Loire Valley, France. Planets are in the rain forests of Bali, the fjords of Norway and ruins in Greece. They are hidden in the city streets of New York, London and Tokyo. One bakes in an Arizona desert, another freezes on a glacier field in Antarctica, still others rest in the deepest oceans (special thanks to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and ALVIN). Simpson's Planets dot the seven continents and three of the seven seas. They remain, and will for centuries, until someone stumbles across one and wonders: What is this and where did it come from?

EnviroNote: Glass is made of silica, one of the Earth's primary constituents. It is chemically stable and will remain unchanged for thousands of years. It cannot harm the environment and is Y2K compatible.

For the year two thousand, Josh Simpson is launching The Infinity Project. Twice each week he will give two Planets (one to keep and one to hide) inscribed with the infinity symbol to explorers and anyone else who writes to tell why, when and where they want to place a Planet. Josh will choose two people each week for all of Y2K and we'll post the exciting words and pictures of their adventures here on the world wide web.
