Building Schools with Bottles
By Tracy Vonder Brink
Is your school made of bricks or concrete blocks Many are. But some classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador were built a different way—with bottles full of trash! Hug It Forward—bottle schools use plastic bottles, trash, and lots of community helpers. Let’s see how they do it!
First, kids and other helpers pick up trash. They’ll burn plastic bags and chip wrappers into eco-bricks. Each classroom takes about 3,500 eco-bricks to build. That’s around one ton of trash!
To make eco-bricks, the kids stuff empty plastic bags and chip wrappers into cleaned plastic bottles. They need about 80 plastic bags or around 100 chip wrappers to fill one bottle all the way to the top.
Helpers from the community build frames for the classroom walls. They add chicken wire to hold the eco-bricks.
The eco-bricks are tied in rows between the layers of chicken wire. Any gaps are filled with more plastic bags.
Rows and rows of eco-bricks make up the walls. They are just as strong and last as long as other kinds of walls.
13．How are the classrooms in Guatemala and EI Salvador built differently
14．What are the materials used to build the bottle schools
15．How many eco-bricks are needed to build one classroom
16．How are the eco-bricks made
17．Are the walls made of eco-bricks as strong as other kinds of walls

Do you ever find yourself standing in front of rubbish bins, not sure whether the piece of waste in your hand is recyclable or not To solve this problem, four Hong Kong high school students have invented a smart rubbish bin that uses AI to divide the waste. The students called the bin Waste Collection Point.
The bin uses a camera to know the kind of the waste and divides it into plastic, paper, glass or other kinds. To make sure the bin can divide waste correctly, the team tested every product in the school shop and took over 500 pictures of each one. “To train the AI, we had to take many photos from different angles (角度), so it has a better rate of accuracy (精确度),” said one of the students.
The students had the idea of the smart bin two years ago because they saw a lot of rubbish here and there in their village. Every weekend, they had to join the villagers in picking up the waste.
The students decided to invent a special recycling bin that would encourage people to protect the environment. Although the school ended at 2 p.m., the team members would continue to work on their invention until 6 or 7 p.m. at school.
“Our bin is now in its third generation (代). Before graduation, we hope that it can be widely used in the city.” The students said, “Then it will be easier than ever for people to recycle waste and protect our environment.”

Four minutes after he played the violin, the violinist received his first tip. A woman threw the money in the violin case without stopping and continued to walk.
