If you have ever wanted to buy your own island but lack the seven figure bank account necessary to get your own private kingdom, take heart!

Richie Sowa has built a floating island paradise using discarded plastic water and soda bottles for flotation off the coast of Mexico. It’s mega-rad; he has so far collected a quarter of a million bottles, bagged them up in fishing bags, and built a wooden platform on top. The island is occupied by  Richie and a few cats, a dog, three chickens, and has a bunch of dirt, sand, plants, and wooden huts. Sign me up! Check out the video:
