Dormice and field mice around my parents' country home use whatever plastic scraps they can get their tiny paws on to line up their nests for insulation. It's odd to think they consider the scraps just another resource.

It's one of the details I liked about 'Day after tomorrow', using newspapers put under the clothes as additional protection against the cold. No idea if that works (I think help a little at least), but the idea was neat. Just as the discussion if they should burn Nietsche only to be reminded on the section of books about taxes.
I think in the early 80's someone actually build a houseboat from scrap. Cleaned and sealed oil drums for flotation, plastic for sails and so on.

It does work as long as the paper is reasonably dry and multiple layers are used, newspapers and parts of cardbard boxes are used as passable insulation by homeless people even today. In fact I guess building stuff out of plastic bottles and similar materials is quite common in poor countries, since even where there aren't many material goods circulating trash seems to be uniquitous...
With tail like that, every place ij the world has a luxury bed
But i see what you've done here. Nice touch with the layers of roll-on lawn, between dirt fillings. Pretty speaking display
Also, yes, it's mind-blowing how most of the animals have natural mindset to use every available resourse they get. And we, so-called "intelligent" beings, are living in the name of waste and forced recirculation (which is more complicated form of waste)

The above discussions of the reuse of materials in building remind me of pictures I saw at some point a long time ago of a house that had at least some walls built of wine bottles stacked and mortared together, which made a really thick wall, sort of like with straw bale construction. There was also a really cool effect of the light showing through the green glass. I've heard that this has been done in a number of places.
