 Yahaya Ahmed, a Nigerian architect, has build a house in Kaduna using 14,800 sand-filled plastic jugs as blocks. Premium Times reports that Ahmed is the director of a non-legislative association, Developmental Association of Renewable Energies in Nigeria (DARE). The designer said the house was worked by his association to support reusing of waste materials, establish occupations and guarantee a more secure climate in Nigeria. 

Clarifying the way toward building the house, Ahmed said laborers filled the plastic containers with sand and connected them at the neck by an intricate network of strings. He said the structure is the first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa, adding that it is less expensive to build because the building materials are available in the street and dump focuses. 

In of strength, Ahmed said the house is "multiple times more stronger than block houses and can last for more than 300 years if constructed properly According to him, the structure is flame resistant, impenetrable, tremor safe and can adjust to a wide range of environment changes. 

Ahmed said anybody with workmanship abilities can be use as labour in the construction of one building, adding that his association has prepared many young people. 

Why assemble a house with plastic jugs? Ahmed said the inspiration for the activity is to lessen the volume of plastic that is dirtying the climate and causing illnesses and different catastrophes. In his response to the structure-activity, the associate head of African Climate Reporters, Piman Hoffman, asked the Nigerian government to help environmentally friendly power organizations to save the country from the expanding danger of waste pollution.
