An ecobrick is a plastic bottle packed with used single-use plastic to create a reusable building block, and THIS Guatemalan school is built with them. After the ecobricks are placed, mesh wiring and stucco are applied to reinforce the sturdiness and give the building a nice finish.⠀
⠀
When traveling to areas heavily impacted by the ocean plastic pollution crisis we ask the locals "what do you do with the plastic"? It's safe to say, this Guatemalan city had a very creative solution.⠀
⠀
