Joyxee Island [source]Joyxee Island was initially around 66ft in diameter. However, as Richart Sowa went on working with his creative instincts, it now measures around 82ft. in diameter.
Joyxee Island [source]This artificial floating island is made of over 100,000 recycled plastic water bottles. And to your surprise, the island also has three beaches, a house, two ponds, a solar-powered waterfall, a wave-powered washing machine, and solar panels.
