Man Builds his own Island Paradise
Often I have thought about living on my own tropical island away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday constrictions of living within a society. However, the cost of being able to purchase my very own island; far outweighs dream.
Richie Sowa, a carpenter, eco-pioneer and artist from Britain, shared this same dream of mine. The difference is he followed his dream, and built his very own tropical island paradise! In 1998, Richie began collecting plastic bottles off the coast of Mexico and built an island structure using the bottles to keep the island afloat!
His completely self-sustaining island consists of a two story home, a solar oven, a self-composting toilet and his own food garden! Well, here watch this video and see for yourself:
Wow! I become more and more impressed every time I watch the video. What a great way to leave your mark on the world…by not leaving a mark on the world…
