This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Waste Streams.

Cob and cordwood buildings often use glass bottles to let in light and create artistic spaces.  Sometimes glass bottles are used in floors to insulate from the earth below.  Let's put those empties to good use in a natural building!

 
 

Here's one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Use 50 glass bottles in a wall or floor
        - If cut in half and taped together they will make 25 little windows
  - Do not need to be exposed

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Bottles you're starting with
  - Bottles ready to be used in the construction project
  - Bottles placed in the wall or floor
  - Finished wall or floor
