For many years now, Dutch architect Ramon Knoester has been harboring a dream - To recycle the plastic that is polluting our oceans and transform it into a beautiful inhabitable island. He began his work in earnest in 2010, after receiving a grant from the Netherlands government. While it has taken a few years, and he has had to make some tweaks to his original plan, it seems as though this rather impossible sounding idea may actually become a reality, in the very near future.

- xizugawuvu9년 이상i think that having a 500 mile area of toxic waste that extends from California to sea of japan is to big of garbage.
- pufehelobo9년 이상I think that this is a good idea because it will help save wasting items
- pozezovily9년 이상I think this would be a very cool place to live! If you lived on an island of recycables. It would be very dangerous though. Say that i am there and people see something in the water would i probabally go? Yes i would. But if there were more recycables on one side and that was the side it had more trash on, it would have more weight.
- no account yet9년 이상Fantasygirl i think that they would have the island close to the actual land and it would probably not be built like a ship
- I'm not a girl9년 이상Cool, man!
- dogbreath5859년 이상it was a cool idea so i think he can go for it ya.
- Fantasygirl10년 이하I think that it is a good idea, but they have to keep the island balanced perfectly, or it could tilt dangerously. For example, if the people living there see a whale, and they all go over to one side, don't you think that that side would be heavier? The island could tilt and the people would all fall into the water. Also, it is still an island in the middle of the ocean. People living there could run out of food, water, or there could be an epidemic, and they would all die, having nowhere else to go. Someone could be a serial killer that secretly sneaks on, and kills all of the people. The possibilities are endless. With all of these dangers, there would have to be White-House-level security, and then it would be no fun to live on.
- pihefywiby9년 이상That is a good idea. It would have to be perfectly balanced like you said.
- cexasofona9년 이상and wouldn't this take all his time up
- buvypydidu9년 이상nice response you had a lot of information!
- cexasofona9년 이상i agree but I also disagree because how many people would be on the island and why would it sink ? I agree because they could not have a lot of food and water. Would there be a lot of garbage on the island? I think it would be close to a island.
- cexasofona9년 이상it would be close to land
- cexasofona9년 이상i disagree
