Recycled constructions


Posted by Amy Smart on Monday, July 26, 2010



A boat made of 12,500 plastic bottles has successfully crossed the Pacific Ocean. The “Plastiki” arrived in Sydney Harbour on Monday, after a four-month journey that began in San Francisco. The six-member crew hoped to draw attention to the problems of pollution and waste in our oceans. Read more

The Plastiki isn’t the first of its kind. Check out some other recycled constructions:

5) Television shoes
4) Tire floors
3) Houses galore! Beer cans, newspaper and more.
2) Recycled car runs on chocolate and veggie oil.
1) Plastic bottle island (see video above.)

Heard of any others? Which do YOU think is the most impressive recycled construction?
