Amazing House Created Entirely from Plastic Bottles

environmentalgraffiti.com — 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 them to giant mounds of garbage.

  • Gonasadude, on 09/27/2008, -1/+9Could have just recycled them instead of making this piece of garbage.

  • and303, on 09/27/2008, -0/+5Those are made out of even cheaper plastic.
  • Slackdragon, on 09/27/2008, -0/+4"Amazing" is the most abused word in the Digg headline lexicon.
  • and303, on 09/27/2008, -1/+5Is the server made out of plastic bottles too?
  • inactive, on 09/26/2008, -2/+6TWSS!
  • itseffinkasey, on 09/27/2008, -0/+4That house would probably be pretty bad ass if it was water proof, had a door, and you filled the bottles with water so they insulated better.
  • cheezintern, on 09/27/2008, -1/+5look at me, i'm glue plastic bottles together and stacking them, i'm an artist!

  • idiosyncrisia, on 09/27/2008, -0/+3FACT 104: If we wanted to read a book... we wouldn't be on the internet. If you think we want to read that, why don't you submit it to digg and then we can see if people like it.

  • Alex2, on 09/27/2008, -0/+2Citation needed.
  • AriaStar, on 09/27/2008, -2/+4Not THIS is a house made of bottles. 50,000 beer bottles, in fact.

    It's awesome to go see.
  • brightshadow525, on 09/27/2008, -0/+2Wait.... And that's better than recycling?

  • TaylorHelferty, on 09/27/2008, -0/+2Ignoring the random spammer, that is more of an art project than a house. You want to see really impressive houses made out of garbage (and other materials), see the movie Garbage Warrior. THOSE are amazing and impressive houses that show what we can do with our waste. Although I still don't disagree with what the article is saying, garbage can be used for tons of things.
  • jaymzdean, on 09/27/2008, -0/+2Note to self.
  • FreeTalkLIve, on 09/27/2008, -0/+2A plastic house fire would be a painful death.
  • ne0shell, on 09/28/2008, -0/+1F that pile of crap, I know an architect under a bridge who builds much nicer houses out of cardboard and newspaper. I dare you to build a house out of used pop bottles. Enjoy the bees, loser.
  • xxTazxx, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1I'm all for environmentally friendly projects, but that's neither amazing, nor a house.
  • techmaster, on 09/28/2008, -0/+1Agreed, this is neither amazing OR a house... Buried as inaccurate.
  • Yage2006, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1Not really a house more like a shack.
  • aimhelix, on 09/27/2008, -2/+3without polar bears
  • SkinnerBox, on 09/27/2008, -1/+2The amount of plastic bottles that we use on a daily basis is staggering and a serious problem. I'm not sure this is the answer though.
  • Hosalabad, on 09/28/2008, -0/+1Headline should say, "A stack of garbage created from plastic bottles."
