This man-made island floats on 100,000 recycled plastic bottles, has its own beaches and is capable of being moved and docked to any place your heart desires. Known as Spiral Island, this creation is the second of its kind. The original floated its beach-covered bamboo and plywood base on 250,000 plastic bottles. Over 50 feet in diameter, the first Spiral Island was equipped with a multistory home, solar oven, self-composting toilet, and the usual flora you might expect of a tropical isle. Sadly, the original Spiral Island was destroyed in a hurricane just a few years ago.

Maybe someone should tell him his 'floatation' (plastic bottles) breaks down more rapidly in seawater. Nice to see he'll be contributing to the Gyre soon.
