The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally help people protect the environment. It’s a village in Panama that is going to be made of used plastic bottles. The village will include about 120 homes of different sizes. The design begins with building structures of steel，which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete，and electrical lines are put inside，the plastic walls are covered by concrete—both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides，the material will keep the house 17 ℃ cooler than the temperature outside，which is the biggest advantage to people living inside.

The village is the work of Robert Bezeau with the purpose of setting up some environmental projects. Having started a recycling program in 20xx，during which a number of plastic bottles were collected，he started to think how they could be put to use. Soon enough，he decided to use them to build houses. Over 10，000 plastic bottles were used to build the first house，which was completed late last year. The bottles were gained from the same recycling project that Robert had set up. The next home is expected to be bigger，and will need more bottles. The special homes will be sold on request for anywhere

between $149，000 and $300，000. The village will also feature its living environment，such as gardens，mini－parks，and more. 22，000 plastic bottles are thrown away around the world per second. While all these bottles clearly cannot be reused into homes，the project hopes to raise the attention of the waste. The village will also create an education center that will teach people from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as building materials.
