Peaceful greetings to the steemian companions wherever you may be in all the wal'afiat,

This time I will share about the residence of the earthquake resistant nigeria person.

a True Activist article reveals, home construction projects utilize waste plastic bottles.

I do not think iDEA lovers, it turns out thanks to mud materials and plastic bottles in the house, make the house more secure from the dangers of earthquakes and fires.

Trus Activist was founded by two non-governmental organizations, the Renewable Energy Development Association (DARE) based in Kaduna, Nigeria and the African Community Organization based in London, England.

They have a common goal, namely to build homes for homeless people in Nigeria.The initial stage when building a plastic bottle house is to fill plastic bottles with sand.

Next, prepare the mud and cement is used to unify the bottles so as to produce a solid wall. It takes about 14,000 bottles to build a house with two bedrooms.

In Nigeria, there are three million waste plastic bottles every day so they have not found any problems in the supply of the main building materials that are used plastic bottles.

Sand in a bottle also helps keep the room temperature low. So it is suitable for use in countries such as Nigeria which has a hot temperature.

The house will also be supported with solar panels and methane gas from the recycling of human and animal waste as electricity.

that is what I can say, hopefully can be a learning for us all.
