Recycled Islands
After reading this news article it almost seems like this is an elaborate april fools joke, but it is in fact real. The Netherlands based architecture firm WHIM has made plans to hopefully construct islands in the Pacific that would be made from a collection of the plastic garbage that is floating in the ocean. These islands would not only recycle garbage that most people assume will be around as long as humans are at least but the islands could provide homes for a vast number of people. The big question is whether or not the islands will be affordable for people other than the super rich.
