Some Nigerians are building earthquake-proof homes from plastic bottles, turning trash into a sustainable and affordable housing material. The homes are made by filling plastic bottles with sand and stacking them like bricks, bound by mud and string. The homes are 20 times stronger than regular bricks, bulletproof, and insulated from the heat.
Calling this "sustainable" is a lie. Sure, it upcycles the bottles for a couple of decades before they decay, but you have to deal with the plastic trash eventually.
The idea that plastic is a sustainable material that can be recycled is a lie that Big Oil has spent billions on propaganda to make us believe. Please don't contribute to spreading this lie.
The inconvenient truth is that we need to leave the oil in the ground.
