Radical Recycling

I like to think of myself as a creative person. I make my own art and crafts. I teach fine arts and craft arts. As a result, I am a collector of stuff to use for creative projects. Much of this stuff would otherwise have headed for the recycling bin. My projects are, however, small in comparison to what I came across recently. Here are 10 of the World’s Most Radical Recycling Projects: 

A Buddhist temple made of beer bottles

A bridge made of recycled paper tubes

An outdoor recycled art gallery

Shipping containers as sleek, modern homes

A jumbo jet hostel

Giant ‘Trash People’

Designer dresses made of maps and coffee filters

A scrap metal park

Dirty diapers transformed into diesel

An industrial waste rock garden

Before these guys came along with their truly brilliant ideas, and man named Simon Rodia built the Towners of Watts in Los Angeles. Here’s the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_Towers

Human ingenuity may save us all yet…
