Recycling bits and pieces

There are many examples of 'bottle houses' around the world. This one is on Prince Edward island, Canada and is said to comprise some 30,000 bottles.

There was a TV show where a CEO of a European Brewery was holidaying in some 3rd world country, noticed the the people were using the empty bottles to make homes. Went back the home country and changed the shape of the Brewing companies bottles from round to square , much easier to lay a square bottle than round.

I write all over any pieces of papers also then when done I use the paper to start a fire

hopefully when I get back to Az I can start recycling again...I try here but not a lot

gets recycled on this property but I am changing the owners thoughts bit by bit

It takes time to change a person's way of living for years and years

of just tossing unwanted and resusable items in the garbage can

Rarely do I receive junk mail. When I do, I stuff their free return envelope with incredibly boring articles and, at the end, ask if they would like to buy some more.

I wonder if they made him get a permit to build this house of glass

In the United States you have to have a permit to do anything in the construction business. In Costa Rica you need just a crew.

Scott this is the log cabin we built in the late 80's on the Collville Reservation without a permit

I am sure they need a permit now even to build an outhouse...the new owner let it burn down
