Free house

What to do with your freesheets once you've finished with them? The Guardian reports that artist Sumer Erek has come up with a solution - build a house with them. Erek and a team of volunteers are currently creating the five-metre-tall Newspaper House out of rolled up old freesheets in Dalston, east London as a "political statement about the vast number of newspapers thrown away in cities every day". The house will open to the public on March 8 and people will be invited to add their discarded copies to the structure. Let's just hope its doesn't rain.
