ecoble.com — The original Spiral Island was the talk of the world: a man-made floating island constructed from 250,000 plastic bottles that could drift and relocate as needed ... until it was destroyed by disaster. Now the new amazing Spiral Island is finally finished and slated to open to the public within the next few months in Laguna Makax near Isla Mujeres.

Does anyone remember when those rich Libertarians tried to make their own island in the Indian Ocean so it could be in the state of nature? The Government of Togo promptly invaded it when they were finished. I'm just saying...

both of his islands haven't set sail on the open waters yet, and from the looks of it he still uses the same method to keep his island floating.

Wow, he took that whole "One man's trash is another man's treasure..." thing to heart.

The title is inaccurate. The island isn't finished, it's now open to the public.

Anybody can build a boat, or a house boat for that matter. This man has built a (mostly) sustainable floating island paradise. I wish I had my own paradise to live on. Somehow its just different than a crappy raft.

@matthughes:Well, I can tell you that my first few attempts at a raft didn't float well.
