*CE* Plastic bottle classrooms




People in Philippines have developed a way to build bigger school classroom using less money. Comparing to the materials that is need it to build a normal school classroom, this way uses less money and materials. It is also helping the environment too. They use recycle plastic and glass bottles in the northern Philippine province of Laguna. The Philippines produces enough to build a classroom in two weeks. This mitigates the weather changing a growing climate change problem. These class rooms are strong enough to stand strong winds. They have a large solar bulb made out of steel drums to reflect the light form the sun to light up the room.

I think this idea of building classrooms in poor places is really good. All kids should have a chance to get educated. With the recycle plastic bottles as the main materials for building the school, save a lot of money. These bottles can be found anywhere. Best of all it helps save a lot of trees and help to deal with the plastic bottles. In poor places like the Philippines it saves them half of the money to build normal classrooms. It is doubles the size of the normal classrooms too. They can use the half from what they save to build another one.

One thing I’m pretty concern about is what if it’s going to stand in an earthquake? Is it going to stand strong or is it just going to destroy the whole thing?
