Super nifty idea that I'm taking to the Mexico team

[pegkerr]

This is a fabulously cool idea that I have sent to the Mexico mission team. If you remember, we built two little buildings to give to the people who lives in the colonias. With some of these installed in the ceiling, they could have solar lighting for absolutely free.

What I did yesterday and today to make the world a better place: Yesterday: donated the change in my purse to the collection bottle at church for Habitat for Humanity. Today: passed along the passive solar lighting idea to Mexico mission trip. Luncheon meeting to discuss ideas for greening my workplace.

Another use for old water bottles is building materials. I saw a hotel and a school in San Marcos, Guatemala: http://www.aaculaax.com/04-eco/en-plastic.html

OOOH! How neat! I sent the link to my mom because they were talking about how they were needing easy lighting for the boy scout camp's two warehouse units where they keep the canoes and archery things.

Thanks!

That's so cool! What happens at night, though?

Presumably it only gives light during daylight hours.

But, as I said, at the colonias they have no electricity at all. At least it would give them excellent light in their homes during the daylight hours.

That's very, very cool!

Wow! What an innovative solution! I'm forwarding this link to a friend in the Peace Corps.
