Project Mission and Goals:

How are the donations used?

We believe that trash is the building material of the future. Our main objective is to use the donations raised through the Sponsor an Island! campaign to invest in (research for) the re-use and re-design of plastic bottles as a building materials.

Ideas for the reuse of plastic bottles range from building materials (like wall insulation) to general construction needs. Also, addressing the eminent crisis of future waste build up, portions of the donations will be invested in the research and development for the redesign of the plastic bottle for future re use as a building material/component. 

Example of Work:

• http://enormousplasticrainflower.blogspot.com

Final Deliverables:

• Research and document specific sites within the Pacific Rim of ecological importance for parcel investment.

• Research website interface for the Sponsor An Island! campaign. (www.sponsoranisland.org)

• Gather information on resources already available.

• Research and document (methods/techniques/strategies) for the reuse and redesign of the plastic bottle.
