Amazing Plastic Bottle House
Posted by Laird on Sep 29, 2008
It’s no secret that our obsession with plastic bottles is turning into a bit of an environmental crisis, and no wonder, in the US alone 70 million bottles are purchased every day, yet only a measly 10 million are recycled. So, it’s good to see someone doing something useful with the bottles instead of adding to the giant mounds of garbage threatening to suffocate the planet.
Artist Jasmine Zimmerman has created a translucent sun dome from hundreds of empty recycled bottles, and intends to travel through various boroughs of New York with it to spread the word about reusing and recycling.
Jasmine says, “This year, Americans will drink more than 30 billion single-serving bottles of water. In the course of our busy lives this year, we will throw out more than two million tons of polyethylene terephthalate plastic bottles – an unintended byproduct of our everyday convenience.”

Very cool…and when you want to get rid of your house you at least know the going rate for it won’t drop. 5 cents a bottle, and 10 cents in Michigan!
That’s cool. I remembered watching in TV somebody made an island out of plastic bottles, where he built his house on.
