Man Makes Island from 150,000 Recycled Bottles
1 Min Read
Richart Sowa, a carpenter, artist and singer songwriter, has spent the last seven years constructing Joyxee Island - an 8,000-sq.-ft. island near Cancun, Mexico made from plastic bottles.
Gazette Live has the story:
Despite being 30 yards from the shore and having a base made from air-filled plastic bottles, wooden pallets and sand, the 61-year-old insists his island has all the mod cons anyone could want.
They include a three-storey house, electricity, a kitchen, bathroom, a dry compost ecological toilet, two bedrooms, a jacuzzi, internet, a rooftop sundeck and an eight person ferry made from plastic bottles.
