The hotel is made with waste collected from European beaches
Environmental campaigners have built a temporary hotel largely from rubbish in the Italian capital, Rome, to raise awareness of European beach pollution.
Save the Beach Hotel, taking guests for four days only, is adorned with debris from the world's beaches.
Its five rooms and reception are lined with 12 tonnes of rubbish, including toys, cans, car exhaust pipes.
Danish supermodel Helena Christensen, who has stayed at the hotel, said it was a striking work of art.
"When you're inside the house, there are walls as there would be in a normal house, but they are all made of inorganic waste," Ms Christensen, who is also an environmental campaigner, told the BBC.
Hello teacher,the idea of a hotel made from rubbish is really good for the environment and for us.
ReplyDeleteShould be fun being in a room with walls made of rubbish.
