My name is Charlyndria but people usually call me Char or Charlie. I'm 21 and I live and the DC area and I'm a college student at Marymount University.
I'm majoring in Fashion Merchandising and Communications. I've always loved fashion. movies, art, and music. I've always wanted to be apart of the Entertainment industry in one way or another. I want to be a jack of all trades: I want to be a stylist, potential fashion designer and working on making my own PR firm in the future. I don't know yet how this will happen but I can't wait for my life after school.
I made this blog just to express myself and write down all the random musing within my crazy mind. I'm not really looking for Tumblr fame but that would be nice.
Eco-Friendly Homes For Poor and Low Income Families?
I was watching Aljazeera English the other day and I saw this segment on a plastic bottle house in Yelwa, Nigeria that has been made from plastic bottles filled with dirt and string. The bottles were much stronger than regular bricks and cement. Also they are bullet proof and earthquake proof. Here are some pictures:
The bottle house is solar powered, fuel-efficient with a clean stove, it has urine flirtation fertilization systems and water purification tanks. Hopefully there would more of these house made and this idea can expand to different nations. Habitat for Humanity and other non-profits that involve building homes for the poor and homeless should adopt this technique.
I’m not a wealthy person and I lived in crappy places before. I always see poorer people in the US receive the worst housing that is insufficient, unsafe and harmful to their health. I really hope that there is some type of initiative or program that starts in America that mimics what the people in Yelwa, Nigeria are doing.
