Scout works to build recycled greenhouse using plastic bottles

J.J. Colby has collected 2,300 used plastic pop bottles, and he plans to build a greenhouse with them and earn his Eagle Scout badge in the process.

"I am making a greenhouse out of recycled two-liter plastic bottles," Colby said.

Colby said it took him a year to collect all the used bottles and he did it by volunteering at the recycle drive in Havre every third Saturday of the month. People had gotten word he was collecting the bottles and some would bring as many as 50 at a time for him, he said.

The idea for the greenhouse came from someone at the Blaine County Extension Office, Colby said....
