WOULD YOU BUY A PLANE FOR 1.30$?
When we think of recycling, reusing an old aeroplane is not exactly the first thing that comes to mind for most people, except for one environmentally conscious event manager who saw an opportunity in it and bought it for $1.30. Now there's no economy section, but an event space, so anyone can rent a decommissioned Boeing 747 for their parties. However, the renovation cost nearly $7000,000, so renting the space will not be cheap.

WORLD'S SMALLEST NATIONAL PARK
If you had enough money to buy a tropical island, what would you do with it? Brendon Grimshaw decided to leave a preserved island for future generations and tried to restore Moyenne Island (Seychelles) to the way it was before tourists came. He saved it from being turned into a five-star resort, despite investors offering him up to $50 million to sell the island. And how did he do that? He signed an agreement with the Seychelles Ministry of Environment that included Moyenne in the Ste Anne Marine Park, making it the smallest national park in the world.

GARDENS ARE NOT ONLY FOR COUNTRYSIDES
If you are an avid gardener and do not know what to do with the surplus when you want to create more space for growing vegetables, Hannah Reeve may have a solution for you. She has set up the "RavenOak Pickup Honesty Stand," which she has placed in front of her house and filled with surplus vegetables and seeds. Neighbours can pick up what they need for a few coins or even for free! They are also welcome to drop off their surplus at the stand. This way you can start your own little garden and buy cheap, locally produced vegetables even if you live in the city.
