In a world that is covered in trash without enough space and time to decompose it, many people have started to recycle and reuse. Not only does this help out the earth but it can also help out your bank account. Recycling and reusing material that can last a long time has great benefits. With a material like glass, that doesn’t decay very well, it can come in handy in other areas.
Glass material has been used to build walls, houses, artwork and many other everyday objects. For the most part, bottles are used because they are free and easy to work with. Not only are they cheap but also bottles can be bigger than brick. Bottles can also replace the use of brick or another building material. The use of glass bottles can also bring attention to your building because they are not an everyday material used in buildings. Despite most of their creators' limited experience in construction, and exposure to desert heat, winter snow and neglect, houses have stood up pretty well. Many of the builders speak of a spiritual atmosphere of the buildings' interiors. When the sun hits the bottles, there are said to be kaleidoscopic rays and a stained glass effect.
Because the bottles are made out of glass, they are sustainable and will last longer than if you were to use another material such as paper. You do have to keep in mind though, glass can break and if not properly taken care of the space the bottle was used in can become a disaster.
Using recycled material to create something new draws others attention and lets them know that they too can do this. When the word is spread, many more people find out and think of other ways to reuse and recycle which turns back around and helps out the earth. So no go out, start collecting, recycling and create something new. You never know you could be the next great artist to use recycled material.
