SCREW YOUR RRSP AND START SAVING EMPTIES: A British carpenter has
finished building his own tropical island out of 250,000 plastic
bottles. 49-year-old Richie Sowa started designing his dream island in
the '80s, and made two failed attempts before finishing his new home
last Janaury. The island measures 66 feet by 54 feet, weighs 60 tons,
and is anchored to rocks in a lagoon near Cancun. He has also built a
two-bedroom house on the island, powered by solar panels, and he is
planning full self-sustainability by beginning to plant a garden. For
now, he makes his living selling tickets to about 100 tourist a day who
want to see his tropical utopia. (The U.K. Sun)
