Today there is a plastic bottle castle story

The Dhaka Times Desk Plastic waste is a major cause of environmental pollution. It is more harmful to the ocean. A Canadian man has taken a different initiative to reduce this damage. He made a castle out of plastic bottles!

It is known that this strange palace was built on Isla Colón, the main island of Panama's Bocas del Toro state. This palatial house is made of about 40,000 old bottles.

Paintings at the entrance and inside the palace show how the world's oceans are becoming victims of plastic pollution.

গবেষণা দল ‘ফিউচার ওশান’র মতে, বছরে ৩০ কোটি টন প্লাস্টিক বর্জ্যের অল্প পরিমাণই প্রক্রিয়াজাত করে পূনর্ব্যবহারযোগ্য করা হয়ে থাকে। অপরিশোধিত বর্জ্যের অনেকটুকুই যায় সমুদ্রের পানিতে, ২০১০ সালে যার পরিমাণ ছিল ৪৮ লাখ টন হতে ১ কোটি ২৭ লাখ টন পর্যন্ত!

9 years ago, Canadian Robert Bejeau came to Bocas del Toro with plans to retire. However, the island authorities started a study on how much waste is produced there. Participating as a volunteer, he expressed himself as an anti-plastic pollution campaigner.

তিনি বলেছেন, ‘যদি পৃথিবীর ৭৩০ কোটি মানুষ প্রতিদিন এক বোতল করে পানীয় পান করেন, তাহলে বছরে ২৬ হাজার ৬শ’ কোটি বোতল বর্জ্য হবে।’

Annually, thousands of tourists from the United States and Canada come to spend their holidays in this archipelago. Apart from the excellent bars and restaurants, these islands have natural beauty such as mangrove forests, choppy seas and beautiful beaches. However, the flow of tourists creates a lot of waste, which ends up in the sea, because they do not have adequate waste management capacity at all.

This small island of 62 square kilometers collects about 1.5 million empty bottles every year. Robert collects them for his construction projects. He can only use normal drinking bottles. This is because other bottles contain flammable material.

First, he placed the plastic bottles one on top of the other in the iron cage. Then make walls by coating them with cement. Each wall holds 300 half liter or 120 and a half liter bottles. Not only medieval style triangular windows can be made in this way. This is how he made a palace with plastic bottles!
