Realizing that it’s only going to get more and more difficult to source glass for the windows, Vanessa had the brilliant idea of making bottle bricks. This will allow plenty of light in while getting rid of some waste. Simply measured the thickness of the wall and cut the bottles accordingly. One side with clear glass to let light in and the other side with colored glass to illuminate the inside space. ・・・ #growninhaiti #bottlebricks #reduce #reuse #recycle #upcycle #haiti #ayiti #friends #growth #solutions https://www.instagram.com/p/CVOhjyulTtl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Want a way to (safely) dispose of your single use plastics and masks that you can’t recycle? Shove them in a bottle! This is 10.5 ounces of wrappers, masks, bread bags, etc. tightly packed and no longer free to be the opening line of a @katyperry song when I throw it out. . . . . #bottlebricks #bottlebricking #ecofriendly #plasticwaste https://www.instagram.com/p/CL8RcuqLYVQ/?igshid=isbxx7hbcu29

FOLLOW UP: Bottle bricks! For those of you who saw the post two days ago, here is a little more info on how we do the bottle wall- for each brick we cut the tops off with a tile saw and sanded the sharp edge and taped them together. It doesn’t necessarily have to be two of the same bottles, they just have to have a similar circumference so they line up. For example you could attach two ambers together to get one color but if you wanted you could attach an amber and a clear bottle together to get a softer color when light comes through. In our wall we even attached a green bottle to an amber bottle to get a yellow colored light.
