Man (Re)Builds Mexican Island Paradise on 250,000 Recycled Floating Bottles

Almost everyone wants to live on a tropical island, but who can afford it? Well start saving up your empty plastic water and soda bottles (and caps) because you can follow the example of Richie Sowa and simply build your own. Mr. Sowa has taken over a quarter million empty bottles (for floatation), lashed bamboo and plywood together for the foundation and put a mangrove, a composting toilet, solar oven, house and multiple beaches to create his own little floating paradise. It looks like he's encouraging others to follow his example. Here's a little video, have a look.
