ARE YOU READY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
PLASTIC BOTTLE VILLAGE’S CASTLE INSPIRATION AND IT’S DUNGEON JAILS OFFER’S YOU THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO SURRENDER AND REPENT FOR YOUR CRIME “WITH A TWIST OF HUMOR” WHILE ENJOYING A VACATION.
"Change the World, without changing the Earth"
After collecting more than a million plastic bottles, Robert Bezeau made an unconventional decision — to build an entire village out of plastic bottles. One study has found that there could be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050, so essentially anything else is preferable, no matter how out of the ordinary. For this one we traveled to the island of Bocas Del Toro in Panama to meet the young couple about to move into their first plastic bottle home.

History
Nathaniel C. Wyeth
Born October 24, 1911
Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, United States
Died July 4, 1990 (aged 78)
Nationality American
Alma mater University of Pennsylvania
Occupation inventor, chemical engineer
Nathaniel Wyeth joined DuPont in 1936 as a field engineer.
In 1967, he pondered whether soda could be stored in plastic bottles. After experimenting with a plastic detergent bottle that proved incapable of withstanding the forces of pressurized liquids, he realized that a much stronger material would be required. He settled on polyethylene terephthalate ( PET) as the material and received a patent in 1973.
UP-CYCLING vs RECYCLING
Many peoples don’t know that PET plastic bottles mostly get recycled into polyester fibers, and then into clothes?
*Did you know that every time you put polyester clothes in your washing machine, that millions of fibers are sent in our oceans?
The re-use of the PET bottles in construction, without any transformation ( up cycling ) avoid the need to recycle the PET into clothes, therefore protecting the sea life!
At Plastic Bottle Village, we inspire to bring together a collective of minds and bodies, to work together to create awareness, and to take part in educating the world, to the positive effects of re-using eco building materials.
Say NO to single use plastic bottles
If you say YES, than drink it, and build it

When you visit Isla Colon, Bocas del Toro, Panama, and you buy a drink in a plastic bottle, you don’t just buy the liquid inside, you also buy the plastic bottle.
You have a responsibility since you bought this plastic bottle, you are the owner of that bottle…Will you put it in your luggage with your other belonging and bring it with you when you finish enjoying your vacation on our beautiful island?
If the answer is NO, then what will happen to your bottle once you abandon it on our island?
Will it end-up in our ocean, on a beach, or somewhere in the nature?
Only one way to ensure your bottle will be picked-up! By applying our “CARBON FOOTPRINT STICKERS” to your bottles.
By doing so, you will achieve three things:
1- Reduce your carbon footprint.
2- Educate children about recycling.
3- Bring food to less fortunate families.
It's easy:
1- Get your sticker sheet at any of the distribution points listed below.
2- Give your sticker sheet to any child in Town or in the Barriada.
3- The child will pick up bottles and put the stickers on them to exchange them for food at the Castillo Inspiración (open Tuesday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.; Except Saturday, September 27, when it will be closed; and Monday, September 29, when it will be open). We will soon have an exchange point in Bocas Town again!
4- Plastic Bottle Village will reuse the collected bottles as building material for houses.
