Dream Home From 8,000 Glass Bottles on the Beach In the stunning coastal paradise of Itamaracá, Brazil, mother-daughter duo Edna and Maria Gabrielly Dantas, transformed a beach revelation into an eco-friendly marvel: a seven-room home built from 8,000 upcycled glass bottles that they picked up from the beach. These visionary women saw not waste, but opportunity. Edna stated, "These bottles aren’t going to disappear. Without policies to regulate their production or penalize abandonment, the least we can do is find ways to reuse them." Despite facing the challenges of discrimination, they crafted Casa De Sal as a testament to ingenuity and resilience, even starting workshops to share their sustainable methods and an accessory brand built on reused materials. Today, Casa De Sal is even listed as a destination on AirBnB. Their story is not only about environmental activism but about reclaiming a legacy, where respecting nature intertwines with a history of survival. | Be The Change Organize or participate in a local community cleanup to help reduce waste and promote environmental sustainability. | |
