Four homes built using everyday objects Can newspapers and bottles be used as building materials？After touring these four homes built using these objects，you might just believe the answer is yes.
Plastic Bottle Village，Bocas del Toro
One man's trash is another man's treasure.Truer words could not describe Robert Bezeau's project which began in 2012.After collecting tens of thousands of bottles，Bezeau recruited a team of locals to construct a building using the unwanted materials.
The Bottle Houses，Cape Egmon，Prince Edward Island
The Bottle Houses on Prince Edward Island，Canada，are the creation of Edouard T.Arsenault and his daughter Rejeanne.The father and daughter began construction in 1980.Over the months，they collected empty bottles，and by 1981 they opened the house to the public.Since then，the building has remained open to visitors，with sunny days being the best time to visit.
Earthship Biotecture，Taos，New Mexico
Michael Reynolds built his first Earthship when he was 23 years old.Starting out with nothing more than empty bottles，Reynolds set out to create a home that was not only sustainable，but also easy enough for someone without a construction background to build.Earthship Biotecture offers nightly stays.Self-guided tours are also available.
The Paper House，Rockport，Massachusetts
When Elis F.Stenman built his summer home in 1922，he turned to paper for materials.The design has proven to be quite durable，as it's still standing nearly 100 years later.The home has been open to visitors since the 1930s，and only began charging 10 cents per person in 1942 when it became a museum.Today visitors can experience the Paper House for themselves for ﹩2 for adults and ﹩1 for children.
