Repurposed plastic bottles create light

“In a Manila slum neighbourhood in the Philippines, one notices plastic bottles jutting from the roofs of the informal homes. But these plastic bottles serve a very particular purpose here – they bring light.

This plastic bottle/light initiative is part of a project called “Isang Litrong Liwanag”, which translates to “A Litre of Light”. That’s because the plastic bottles are filled with water and bleach, and then placed into a purpose-built hole in the roof of the slum home. Here the plastic bottle is able to reflect sunlight into the room below.”
