Recycle Your Glass Bottles To Build Houses and Art

We spent some years in northern New Mexico and one of the things the area was known for was it’s unique architecture and experimental green building techniques.

One of my favorite things I saw there was the incorporation of bottles into the walls of earthships, adobe, and straw bale homes.  It’s so unique, so beautiful and such a great way to reuse glass!

Here are some photos of what I mean….

Awesome right?  I think so – and sustainable too!  Just start savin’ those bottles and you’re ready to go!
