Future floods due to climate change! Extremely high property prices! The need to recycle!

All of these have been solved through my Bonnie Biro Caravans. Recycling practically unrecyclable Biro Pens I have created a cheap alternative living accommodation which can move to avoid freak floods. If needs be you can Flee with Finesse.

‘Bonnie Biro Caravan’ 
2009
‘Bonnie Biro Caravan’ addresses both the high property prices in Scotland and the fact that biro pens are noted as one of the largest wastes. I have created a small-scale caravan from biros showing an alternative way to create a cheap, environmentally friendly, affordable living space.
