Plastic Island?

Soon, a Hawaii-sized eco island made entirely from plastic bottles
Hawaii Telegraph
Wednesday 30th June, 2010 
(ANI)

A team of Dutch scientists are planning to make an island the size of Hawaii entirely from 44million kg of plastic waste.

Recycled island, which is part of an environmental vision for the future, will be made from plastic waste currently bobbing around in the Pacific Ocean.

Solar and wave energy will be used to sustain the island and its 500,000 inhabitants who will live in a city similar to Venice, in Italy.
