Impossible? take a good long hard look at the photos of the now defunct U.S.S.R. on this very web! Betcha they thought so too! The common denominator? Sustainability!

What is it's purpose? I have also made this same combination of materials and found it was not healthy. I used these materials for making a foundation for a living sculpture, housing many plants. Held water, sure but how would this effect the health of the plants, I wonder? Have you ever smelt epoxy? These are hazardous materials in my opinion, unsafe and not green savvy.
