Richie Sowa’s Home Made Island
Alternate Title: It Does’t Get Anymore Off Grid Than This
Richie Sowa wanted to own his own island. There was only one problem - he's not a millionaire. Never one to be daunted by a trivial fact like that, this innovative man set out to build his own island out of plastic bottles. The bottles form the base, while on top the island looks completely natural, sand, trees, animals and all...
He is still building onto the man-made island every day and, once it is large enough, he plans to “drift around the world” on it. You have to see this to believe it…
