Architect and Builder Doug Eichelberger has an interesting way to use trash as a building material.  He has constructed several of the building at his Larkspur, Colorado ranch out of baled glossy paper and baled plastic bottles.  The buildings, finished in stucco, blend in well with the surrounding environment, disguising the truly green nature of these buildings.  Eichelberger sees buildings like those at his Lucky Ranch as a possible solution in developing countries around the world where trash is plentiful, and traditional building materials and methods prohibitively expensive.
