These Nigerians take the recycling award because they are building homes, which are fireproof, bulletproof, and eco-friendly using plastic bottles and mud!!

The technique used to build these innovative homes is called bottle walls. Plastic bottles are filled with mud and then stacked with cement. These houses produce zero carbon emissions and maintain good temperatures. The best part is this technique addresses pollution and shortage of housing simultaneously.

Have you wondered why Soldiers (all over the world) stand behind Sand Bags ?

Have you seen that the bottles were filled with SAND ?

Can you now see the connection between the SAND bags ans the SAND in the bottles, relating to BULLETS?

AnanseK:
Great! This idea can be developed further. The plastic bottles can be produced in the shape of interlocking blocks specifically for that. Can then be filled with mud to produce very cheap solid blocks.

timawoku:
Very nice but some questions come to mind:

1) Can it stand the test of time? I.e weather?
2) How solid is the foundation?
3)Is the plastic bottle beneficial to the structure of the building or simply for design?
4) Is the mud heated or just plain mould?
5) Am I an architect or government abi which one be my own sef?
6)Una never tire to read? Oya click on like for nothing
