Floating Island

How did I miss hearing about this? This guy built an island out of empty soda bottles. An island. C'mon!

Yeah, apparently he used the bottles to support the bamboo and plywood base. But check it out... He has trees on the island, a house, chickens, beaches. It's all kinds of awesome.

And he's self-sustaining. How cool is that?

This is not a new idea, however. Remember Waterworld? Yeah? How 'bout the Aztecs? Remember them? They had huge floating island gardens.

But, new or not, I think this is a really cool idea. I'd like to check in with this guy in a few years just to see what else he's doing.
