This colourful plastic building was built in the Philippines to showcase sustainable energy solutions and the problem of waste for Earth Day 2013.<\/a> Built out of recycled plastic, and powered by solar energy, visitors to the building will also be able to learn about urban farming techniques such as hydroponics.<\/p>\n

Designed in partnership with the South African-based green design firm Touching the Earth Lightly<\/a>, the structure uses 1,600 plastic vegetable crates that hold reused plastic bottles. It is 6 metres tall and 200 sq metres.<\/p>\n
