YOU WANT? HOUSE MADE OF RECYCLED BOTTLES, CONTAINERS AND PALLETS?

Thinking about building your own home but you don't have enough budget. Here are some homes building ideas using up-cycled materials like plastic bottles, glass bottles, container vans and pallets.

This house in Mexico is made out of glass and plastic bottles:

Look how beautifully they have turned those plastic bottles into a decorative wall.

here is how it looked like unfinished.

Wonder how they built it? Watch here:

And while many might be doubtful mixing cement and plastic, the next houses made from glass bottles might change your mind. We all know that glass bottles could be a good insulation and decorative too. The lay-out should not differ so much as the plastic bottle house, you simply don't need to fill the glass bottles with sand.

House made of glass bottles:

This is the Ryolite house in Nevada. It is a three bedroom house built in 1905.

Glass house in Boswell, built in 1952- is made of empty embalming fluid bottles.

Houses made from container van and trailers. The average life span of houses made from container van is 25 years but could vary depending on the topography, humidity and other factors.

This house in Boise, Idaho is made of flatbed trailer, cladded with wood from recycled pallets.

This is the interior:

And this is the view from her lofted bed at the opposite end of the house.

Underneath the kitchen counters, she has a two-in-one washer/dryer.

Other container van houses:

And could go as simple as this:

Don't Throw Away your Plastic Bags

PLASTIC RECYCLING can be so fun, and crafty like this

and this too

"A fact about plastic bag: Introduced just over 25 years ago, the ugly truth about our plastic bag addiction is that society's consumption rate is now estimated at well over 500,000,000,000 (that's 500 billion) plastic bags annually, or almost 1 million per minute."

And so we implore everybody to recycle. And one of the best recycling method we have discovered...

It saves a lot of money, and energy. Plastic comes at various sizes so everybody can chose their size, they be small, medium or large, or even extra extra large.

So this summer let's recycle, and you know, its fun to swim, the splash of water, oh so refreshing!This boy found a new way to do it.You don't need to buy BATHING SUIT.

Easier to wash, and yes, dries easily.

Happy Recycling everybody!
