I just came across a fabulous way to recycle all that plastic junk that exists and provide homes for people at the same time. It's absolutely brilliant!
In Columbia, they've started recycling all the plastic into large lego-like bricks that are strong enough to build little homes with. Anybody can build one and a house for one family would cost about $5,200.00. They're also safe in earthquakes and a house would last 500 years.
They can also be torn down and reused somewhere else! How cool is that? Anyway, I thought it was such a good idea that I wanted to share it. You can now return to what you were doing
