Ever wondered what to do with the trash in your house?

Eco-bricks are 2-litre bottles stuffed tightly with unrecyclable waste which are then used to create a reusable building block.

Azania Mosaka spoke to the founder of Eco-Brick exchange Ian Dommisse about the project and how it can help save the environment.
