What to do with 150,000 plastic bottles? A private island

Some people wait a whole year to build a solar cooker and make that long-awaited cake, but Richart Sowa waited nearly a decade to be able to enjoy your private island. This old Carpenter joined recycled garbage over almost seven years and built a private island near Cancun, with the material collected.

Richart Sowa joined more than 150,000 bags of plastic bottles, which held the old wooden pallets before the launch in the water. Later, he covered the pallets with sand and Earth, which somehow manages to sustain trees and other plants on their island of 25 metres, referred to Grist. Additionally, mangrove roots grow around the bags containing the bottles, which protects and hides, making the most natural island.

The old Carpenter still uses the garbage bags too heavy to float to build his flower beds, where it grows agave, ginger and hibiscus. Additionally, the island resort to systems of harnessing rainwater and solar panels to generate electricity. Sowa has created a composting Center with which fertilize your plants.
