Off the coast of Quintana Roo, Richie Sowa has painstakingly constructed an entire island, on which he now lives, out of more than 200,000 plastic bottles!
To make the island, Richie nailed layers of plywood to thick bamboo poles.
He then filled nets with plastic bottles donated by passers-by and well-wishers, and hung them from the poles to make the whole contraption float.
Not surprisingly, Spiral Island, Richie Sowa's amazing home, has become an increasingly popular tourist attraction, receiving up to 100 curious visitors a day.
Richie is talking of pulling up the anchor and moving the entire island further down the coast, where there are fewer tourists and he can get more peace and quiet.
