Video: Plastic Bottle Greenhouse
This is a greenhouse built out of plastic bottles. You can purchase a little booklet online at blue rock station that shows you how to construct each phase of the greenhouse. It's a simple construction of rammed earth tires for the foundation and plastic bottles, with the north wall incorporating thermal mass.

Tomislav Radovanovic came up with idea of a plastic bottle house when he was teaching his students about building materials. This project started in 2001 and, with the support of his family, he managed to collect 14,000 plastic bottles. Mr. Radovanic continues to create masterpieces from plastic bottles.

When we dispose of plastic garbage we need to understand that it takes a very long time to break down and it leeches toxic materials as it does so. We must try not to use or buy plastic, but we must also find uses for tons of plastic already in circulation. We can all do our part from major corporations finding alternatives to plastics in packaging and manufacturing to private citizens picking up the plastic on their local beaches and out of the storm drains and sewer grates. Every little bit helps.
