Do you know how much garbage is produced around the world every year? You will definitely be shocked when you say it, it is 45 billion tons! What is the concept of 45 billion tons? Equivalent to 6 times the total global food production! There are only two ways we deal with such a large amount of garbage: one is incineration and the other is landfill. However, both methods will cause damage to the environment. Nowadays, theres a better way to deal with it, and its to build a house!
An architect from the United States, Michael Reynolds, used waste materials to build a house. For example, now that he is over 70 years old, he is still running around looking for garbage just to build this "garbage house".
His building materials are all collected garbage, including Cans, waste tires, plastic bottles, etc. , each garbage house has a different shape, and is used in different locations in the house according to the characteristics of different materials. For example, waste tires have a certain elasticity, and cardboard and soil are added inside to form walls. The garbage house built by the old man is collectively called the "Earth Ship". The wall made of cans in the picture also obtained a "brick design" patent in 1973.
A garbage house must include six elements: first, the building materials must use discarded materials; The internal power supply must come from nature, such as solar energy, wind energy, etc.; third, the mud walls must be thick for heat insulation; fourth, after rainwater is collected on the roof, it can be used normally through a filtration system; fifth, the sun is used to maintain the temperature inside the house; sixth, It is to grow vegetables and food indoors. In general, everything comes from nature.
The construction process of a garbage house is quite complicated, but the old man never thought of giving up, although the materials are But the overall cost is not cheap, it costs 17,000 yuan per square meter, and more than 800 yuan in annual maintenance fees.
