America could end homelessness in one year by doing this

If America really cared about solving the problem of homelessness among it’s citizenry, here’s an idea that would work. It would be inexpensive, practical, and sustainable. I suspect it would also lower crime rates. As far back as 2011, empty houses in America outnumbered homeless families by five times, according to Amnesty International....

Did you know that you can make houses out of plastic bottles? That’s right. Garbage that we throw away each day could actually provide people with homes. By filling them with sand, and molding them together with mud or cement, the walls created are actually bullet proof, fire proof, and will maintain an comfortable indoor temperature of 64 degrees in the summer time....

To build a two bedroom, 1200 square foot home, it takes about 14,000 bottles.

The United States throws away enough plastic bottles to build 9257 of these 2 bedroom houses per day! That’s just over 3.35 million homes, the same number of homeless people in America.
