Thats awesome!! I wonder how long it would last? Well, I guess if bottles can take 1000 yrs to degrade, then that answers that,lol

1500 bottles, it would take me years to save up, I bet you could ask for it on freecycle or something.

Another great link John, thanks!!

That's pretty cool looking, but the bottles will break down and shatter from sun exposure, won't they? I think it's only when they're buried that they last forever.

Or am I thinking of plastic milk jugs, only? I know those shatter after a while, so I assume other plastics will also.

Anyone?

Ya I wondered that too. Seems like they would break down some.
