We all know that homelessness is a world-wide problem however in Nigeria, plastic bottles homes have alleviated cries for shelter. How so? Incredibly sand-filled plastic bottles are held together with mud and cement, apparently this combination of compacted sand is 20 times stronger than brick. The houses are powered by solar panels and re-cycled methane gas from animal and human waste.

Upon completion, the bottle-built homes are earthquake resistant, fire-proof and bullet-proof. The colorful homes also maintain a moderate indoor temperature all year round.
