I was reading the news online this morning and found this link. It relates to the last project, but i thought some of you might still be interested in it. If you go to Yahoo news today there is a good video of it, the site would'nt allow me to link it but this article gives the basic story.

Hi Bethany,
Thanks for the link. With the combination of the country's poverty and pollution problems, I wonder how many other people there are doing similar "creative recycling" projects? It would seem likely that there are plenty of others, but this just happens to be the one that got mmedia coverage. Doesn't it seem strange that using materials that are free and easily available to build a home is seen as a "new and creative" idea? It would seem to be a no-brainer, but somehow in our society it's a foreign idea to many people...
