Philippine school made out of bottles

An environmental group in the Philippines has developed a new and innovative way to create larger and cheaper school classrooms while remaining environmentally friendly.

My Shelter Foundation has helped build rooms using recycled plastic and glass bottles in the northern Philippine province of Laguna in an effort to mitigate a growing climate change problem.

Marga Ortigas reports from Laguna.

Cheap, environmentally friendly, low budget and creative. Ayos to. Bawas basura na, nakatulong pa para makabuo ng classrooms. COOL! Lalo na't alam nating mababa ang budget na nilalaan ng gobyerno sa edukasyon. :)

Great work. We did a wall with empty scotch bottles. In a cool climate the bottles may be filled with water or and antifreeze solution that will will store heat for night time. Also, try strips of expanded wire imbedded between the rows for reinforcing along with small re-bar if the budget permits.
