Beer+Sunshine = Hot Water

A Chinese farmer has made his own solar-powered water heater out of beer bottles and hosepipes.
'I invented this for my mother. I wanted her to shower comfortably,' says Ma Yanjun, of Qiqiao village, Shaanxi province. Ma's invention features 66 beer bottles attached to a board. The bottles are connected to each other so that water flows through them.

The DeBRICK Project

The idea of the project is to reuse debris (building components that come from the demolition of buildings), to concentrate dust and to put them together, so to form a new building material, the deBRICK. Debris (mostly the non-recyclable), dust, bacteria, PET (which comes from the recycling of plastic bottles) is the consistency of the deBRICK.

Plastic House

Homes made from Plastic Bottles + Greenhouses

Thousands of pieces of trash that would otherwise be clogging waterways and landfills in Nigeria have been turned into sturdy, and surprisingly attractive, construction materials in the village of Yelwa, where the country's first plastic-bottle house is drawing curious visitors and plenty of press.
