Okay, so this is just awesome.

The lovely folks over at Good have an article about something that we (in our love and use of bottle bricks) can fully appreciate: a school made of the stuff.

Lookit all dem kiddies, just lookit 'em!

Guatemalan Schools Built from Bottles, Not Bricks

(Or Bottle Bricks, if you will)

Can we just get a quick hip-hip-hooray for how beautiful this is?  As it says in the article, the benefits of this are twofold – not only does it mean schools being built for way less than they would cost otherwise, but it also teaches the children (who help build it) about the environment.  As a lovely bonus, this “building material” rids the countryside of some of its less-than-attractive plastic litter.

Yeesh.  Mega cool.

Yeah, yeah.  We know.  We hope – and aim! – to get to a place in our society where we don’t even have plastic bottles … but until then, this is pretty nifty, no?

Oh, totally.  So – what are you going to build out of bottles in YOUR community?
