Many individuals nowadays have difficulties, either financially or as a result of other issues, making it difficult for them to create the homes of their dreams. Nigeria, dubbed "The Giant of Africa," is the seventh-most populated nation in the world and has petroleum and fuel reserves. It ranks as the 12th-largest petroleum production. In Nigeria, there is a greater need for housing as well as an enormous quantity of plastic bottles. Frequently referred to as the "Development Association for Renewable Energies" (DARE). They came up with a lovely way to avoid using plastic bottles by constructing the homes out of plastic.
How were they built?
In the city of Kaduna, there are a lot of plastic bottles. Around 7800 huge plastic bottles from the city were gathered, filled with sand, and connected with strings to form a network. They arranged the bottles in the correct design and filled them with a cement and mud mixture to make them more durable than bricks and blocks. A two-bedroom house that is being built has an inside temperature of 64 degrees Fahrenheit.
Making a house out of bottles would be a green idea. This home is both fire and bulletproof as well as earthquake resistant. more information from BBC link below
