Building with plastic bottles


Building with plastic bottles, originally uploaded by bryanilona.


The U.S. discards 13 million tons of plastic annually — more than 12% of our overall waste — and barely 7% of the plastic we discard is recycled. The biggest proportion of that plastic waste comes in the form of plastic bottles (beverages as well as personal care products, cleansers and the like) and packaging.

    It is a good idea to recycle and reused these plastic bottles. This will save our environment and will save money too. I'd love to include this idea on my future house.

    As of this point and time, many innovations are taking place to provide comfortable living and homey-mood feel to the possible residents and occupants of houses but, as a buyer you must also ensure that your rights, as a home owner, is protected. So, it's quite an essential factor to know the florida condo law or the specific condo law in wherever state you are living.

    Aside from plastic bottles, there are so many creative ideas when it comes to building houses or any infrastructures. The question is, will this kind of house be seen in carbondale real estate or any real estate properties?

    You could actually find a home that you prefer to live on, there are nice Liverpool estate agents that could really assist you all the way from picking out a place you want to live in, up to how you want your house will look like.

    This plastic bottle-inspired wall would be a perfect match with the eco-friendly patio we're planning to put up in our home. We used some vintage and old benches in it and design and convert some fab looking pots that would also match up with the theme we're trying to attain.
