British eco-pioneer Rishi Sowa built his first Spiral Island in 1998 using around 250,000 plastic bottles to build a 66x54ft (20x16m) island which was located in a lagoon near Puerto Aventuras, on the Caribbean coast of Mexico. Sadly, it was destroyed in a hurricane.
So in 2007 Rishi started over, this time using millions of plastic bottles to construct his eco-masterpiece, Spiral Island II.

2 questions: what happens when there's waves? and where all the women at?
It's in a lagoon. No serious waves unless the weather is already disasterous anyway.
Where do people get funds to do crazy shit like this? I need a job where i build crazy shit all day
The job is called: Unemployed, and i hear there are plenty openings
is it really re-cycling when all the bottles get sent to sea after the hurricanes??
I agree. I read the description and said, "think I might've left that part out", he puts all those bottles in the ocean, isn't that what we're trying to PREVENT!?
thank god someone finally caught on to the irony.
If you can't find a place to live, build an island…
YUp one good storm and its toast FAIL but cool tho
wheres the rum
when the storm hit (and when the next one does) all the plastic bottles just head out to sea or land? Boneheaded move
Quick! Sell it to a celebrity before it sinks!
hope that poseidon won't fart near that island because there is already enough plastic garbage in the ocean..this idea is really out of the box, but i'm not sure if it's eco
this is a dream come true..
well ben had to come up with some way to get rid of all of Hurley's takeout rubbish……
fuck dude….i hope Kevin Costner sues this guy for stealing his idea…
The only thing that comes to mind is – "just because you can, doesn't mean you should".
"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fatefull ship…
that started from old bottles annnndddd a bunch of plastic shit!
The Captain was a weidro eco-guy, who wore speedos black…
His first mate was no where to be seen, might be in a gunny sack!"
Sung to the Gilligan's Island jingle… go ahead, add another verse!!
But how many fatties would be required to sink the place?

It's not an island, it's a freakin raft. I wanna refund.
Thank you! islands are anchored. Put a big enough motor on this thing and he might have something.
