[CE] Philippine school made out of bottles


Filipino schools are adapting to an environmentally challenged world. They are reusing bottles to rebuild schools twice as big as their old ones, but only half the price. Statistics show that every town in the Philippines can build a new classroom using the bottles every two weeks. These bottles are filled with a brick-like mixture and then packed together to create the walls of the classroom. The huge amount of waste produced by each town in the Philippines can now be a clever solution to the small amount of classrooms.
Our world is currently rapidly changing into a community where industrialization dominates our societies. However, that does not mean industrialization has no consequences. Every country in the world has a waste problem and we should adapt like the Philippines for the mutual benefit for the cleanliness of the planet Earth. We can potentially remove the waste from our waters, junkyards, and streets. Community service programs and jobs can benefit from the waste and we could produce many new things.
Producing buildings and other things using bottles will allow a new form of art to bloom. Although critics may call it “unprofessional”, or “outrageous” or maybe even “jank”, these projects are often viewed as positively “ghetto” and amusingly creative. Teenagers, young adults and the current generation will soon lead our economy and the evolution of the creations and inventions can be influenced by the latest trends. Creative things is an explosively expanding trend among many teenagers and young adults, and may influence the upcoming generations of what people will soon call “art”.
