We often talk about how we can reuse, reduce and recycle to help the environment. But sometimes, I have to admit, it can be tough going green.

When it comes to old plastic and glass bottles, we generally use them as vases. But what can you really do with these bottles that will make a big difference to our environment?

How about using them to build cheap and stable houses? Sounds impossible?

Oh yes you can.

Someone in Mexico has done it. I was realllly impressed when I saw these photos so I thought I’d share it with you guys.

Isnt this amazing?!! The bottles are filled with sand and they provide great insulation. After all the painting, you really can’t tell it’s a house made out of plastic bottles! Definitely a very good idea if you ever need a house. Haha.

Share with me! What other eco-friendly things do you do with your plastic bottles?
