Eco-house also known as Green building, is the creative buildings and supportive infrastructure that reduce the use of resources, create healthier living environments for people, and minimize negative impacts on local, regional, and global ecosystems Green building also has been studied at United State (U.S. Department of Energy, 2010) it shows that the annual impacts of building construction including 35% of carbon dioxide production which is a major contributor to global warming. Strength of bottle bricks has been doubted by the public since they are made from plastic bottles. However, this doubt is solved because bottle bricks are stronger than common bricks and they are bullet proof. In a small village in Nigeria, a solution has been applied to not only provide shelter in a poverty stricken country, but find a use for refuse. Packing sand into plastic bottles is a technique that started nine years ago in India, South and Central America. Named “bottle brick†technology, the compacted sand inside the bottles is almost 20 times stronger than bricks. Adding to the appeal of the simple technology, the houses are ideal for the hot Indian climate because the bottle bricks buffer the house from the intense heat. This project was done as part of our college activity.
