Re-use of waste in construction in Guatemala
This is my friends’ NGO and they are a finalist in the BBC World Challenge 2010 competition. Vote for them! THey are such great guys. Mateo & Lars. Heart.
They built a school from garbage - old tires, coke bottles, etc., and now they’re sharing the low-cost, highly efficient design techniques with the community, and keeping a ton of trash from being burned or thrown in the river, or over a cliff (they’re not using landfills so much in Guate).
