From Trash to Treasure: Plastic Bottle Lighting! 💡

COCO .FOR THE CONSCIOUS CONSUMER Did You Know? In many parts of the world, a simple yet brilliant solution is transforming lives with something as ordinary as a plastic bottle. The solar bottle bulb or plastic bottle light is an innovative way to provide lighting using just water and sunlight. How It Works The idea is straightforward: a clear plastic bottle is filled with water and a splash of bleach to keep it clean. This bottle is then installed into a hole in the roof, with the top exposed to sunlight. The sunlight passing through the water-filled bottle is refracted, creating a bright, diffuse light that can illuminate a space equivalent to a 55-watt bulb. The Impact This ingenious method has been adopted in communities across countries like the Philippines, Brazil, and South Africa, providing an affordable, sustainable lighting solution where electricity is scarce. It improves quality of life and reduces reliance on harmful kerosene lamps.
