  • Bottles Up Boat
    A clever play on words, Bottles Up is a cute, little plastic bottle boat crafted by the owner and employees of the Rain Tree Lodge - an eco backpacker's hotel on the island of Viti Levu in Fiji. The boat is built out of plastic bottles (including Fiji water bottles!) and a layer of foam, held together with glue. It may look dainty, but surprisingly the boat can remain afloat supporting three large Fijian men as they paddle around in it. The owner of the Rain Tree Lodge claims that this is be Fiji's first plastic bottle boat and he hopes this boat will inspire other Fijians to reuse materials in their personal lives.
