Man-Made Island by Econut

Some stories you simple could not invent. For example, there is this story of one ecology nut who build his own island out of used soda bottles!

But seriously, Reishee Sowa has done something pretty incredible, and he really has a passion for a better world. "We are being faced with a population explosion and maybe building islands is the answer. This island is an example of something that could be built worldwide. You could be totally self sufficient with it. All is as natural as possible. I catch rain water for showers, the toilet naturally composts, and you can grow your own produce," he says. While we aren't sure we'll be able to solve the world's problems by building floating islands from recycled pop bottles, it's the spirit of his work that we like best. He's able to live self-sufficiently in his own version of paradise...

I must admit that the thing which disturbs me most about this story is their constant use of the word "Pop" for soda. {{{Shudder.}}}
