VOICED : Colombia transforms old tires into green housing

An environmental activist has initiated a project to construct houses using old tires, including her own in Bogota. These tire-based structures are eco-friendly and earthquake-resistant. The project addresses the issue of tire waste, which contributes significantly to pollution. Posada's venture uses 9,000 tires for her house and incorporates glass and plastic bottles, offering a sustainable and innovative solution. The project aims to inspire others to adopt green housing practices, as these homes are both cost-effective and quick to build.
