Sponsored by Corona, this project is called Save the Beach and is a public awareness campaign designed to show tourists and citizens alike that “if we don’t start taking care of our beaches we’ll soon be taken over by rubbish!”
Designed by German artist HA Schult, the hotel contains three bedrooms, two bathrooms and is made up of 12 tons of trash. Recently, model Helena Christensen stayed in the hotel.
The trash hotel is a great way to tie together public awareness, eco tourism, environmentalism, and climate change. I for one am chomping at the bit to build one here in St. Lucia. Any takers?

I'm in! This ROCKS!
Upon further inspection, apparently anyone, anywhere can nominate a beach for the project. Sarah and I will be submitting one of the beaches in St. Lucia. But here is the website should anyone else be interested in nominating a beach:

Can I nominate a country for this project? India. I have justification, too. See Exhibit A: my blog entitled Weddings and Random Facts, last picture. I could do a whole post on trash; it's in the hospital, on front stoops, in any free green space, in the bushes, EVERYWHERE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND trash collection or disposal is such a novel concept!
