Recycled Bricks Designed To Save Water Too

Water is pretty important.

Jin-young Yoon thought so as well when he designed the Save Water Brick.

As the name states, the brick does more than just the ordinary brick, its unique design actually collects and saves water!

As you can see in the picture above, the brick has 3 holes in the top that helps to funnel rainfall and other water.

But that’s only the beginning of this brick concept’s eco-friendliness.

The Save Water Brick also has a groove designed into the side of the brick that can channel water to a garden, rain barrel, pond, fountain, or even an underground cistern.

The groove has a S-curve design that resembles a winding river, which looks pretty cool, but also makes directing the water through multiple bricks an easy task.

The brick not only saves fresh water, which is becoming increasingly more scarce, but is also made of materials that would usually go to waste.

The design combines those pesky fallen leaves with recycled plastic, which are then ground into a powder like substance and fused together to make this water conserving brick.

The bricks were designed with the purpose of building houses that both saved and utilized fresh water, but they can also be stacked in a tower and made into a water collecting device (as you can see in the picture above).

Would you consider buying a house made of these Save Water Bricks?

How about making a small tower out of them?

I’m an outdoorsy and recently graduated from college yogi. In the past few years I’ve learned lots of simple steps to becoming greener and have found living green to not only be rewarding, but easy. I hope to pass on some of these simple ideas to you too!

About Us

JeffreyI think every little step toward living green is an awesome one... but eco-snobbery sucks! My goal is to help newbies learn the most important steps toward living green -- individually and collectively. Personally, I strive to have as little impact as possible on Planet Earth while I'm here.

JoshuaAs an advocate for good health, I usually try to choose the 'greener' option over other more dangerous and/or wasteful options. Generally, if it's bad for your health or the planet, I try to avoid it. In my effort to live green... on a budget, I like to find new (healthier) budget-friendly ways to do things -- from eating and cleaning to recycling and home decorating. My goal is to help you take the chore out of living green by sharing fun new ecofriendly ideas that you can try today... or any day! My all-time favorite way to live green is to repurpose items and give them a new use -- I've written a lot of useful DIY articles.

LynnetteMy experience with living green consists of taking baby steps (like making one big change each year as my New Year's resolution) -- because I've seen too many people burn out on trying to 'Save the Planet'. I share a lot of Simple Ways To Go Green, as I find new and successful strategies that have worked for me. While I'm baby-stepping my ecofriendly habits in life, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
