We're leaving future generations with so much pollution, and now microplastics. Realistically this is a nightmare and it is unfortunate that the world we live in is so dystopian, so in need of wealth, that we're resorting to using garbage to build homes when there's a plethora of environmentally friendly materials we could use if only wealth wasn't centralized in so few hands.
But at least they get homes, I suppose. I know if I was in their position and needed a home I wouldn't care if it was made up of plastic bricks or not.

Thirty years ago (~1990) there was very little of those three being recycled -- think landfills(!). In many high income countries, homes, schools, and office buildings are using one or more of these.
