I get the alternative building style bit, they do look interesting. But, aren't OLD shipping containers already being recycled and turned back into "new" containers? How does taking a decent container out of service (because you won't be building with a damaged, rusted one) which forces the creation of a new one to replace it, doing something positive? Some of these people even build using NEW containers. That doesn't sound very sustainable?
