Extraordinary man builds 25 plastic bottle homes for refugees in Algeria(https://inhabitat.com/extraordinary-man-builds-25-plastic-bottle-homes-for-refugees-in-algeria)

A Sahrawi refugee in Algeria is rebuilding lives – literally. Born and raised in the refugee camp in Awserd near Tindouf, 27-year-old Tateh Lehbib Breica is constructing disaster resistant homes using discarded plastic bottles – for himself and others. These recycled homes are specifically built to endure harsh desert conditions for an affordable price.

Breica may have found a solution in old plastic bottles filled with sandand straw. He has a master’s degree in energy efficiency after participating in a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) scholarship program.
