Richard Sowa knows a thing or two about recycling. Sowa built himself a self-sustaining island out of 150,000 plastic bottles. The island is off the coast of Cancun, Mexico and is totally buoyant.
Sowa built the island, which he calls Joyxee Island, over a period of
six years. The island accommodates a three story home that is equipped
with a working toilet, solar panels for electricity, an Internet
connection, a hot tub and three showers.
Although he built two similar floating abodes in the past, both were
wrecked by hurricanes. Sowa also now has someone to share his island
paradise with as he recently found a romantic partner in a former model
named Jodi Bowlin.
The island can float and move around as Sowa sees fit. Technically,
Sowa never has to leave the island, but he still does on occasion. He
said,
My plan is to become self-sufficient. I am a vegetarian and have many plants growing on the Island which I eat, but for more variety I go by bicycle to the nearby local shop.
It seems like this guy is really living the dream, and he’s doing it in a very green way.
