Among the various inventions as part of sustainable, looking for building materials with less impact and more ecological, born the schools built with bricks made with compressed garbage, bottled ‘two liters of water, filled with other non-biodegradable waste, closely linked to another similar bottle and have a EcoBrick. Many EcoBricks are designed as blocks to build something extraordinary: schools for children in the countries most in need. The adventure, as explained by the Telegraph and recovery from In a Bottle (www.inabottle.it), begins in Guatemala, where they were built 38 schools and leads us through the Philippines to arrive in South Africa.
The inventor is Susanna Heisse that, with his organization Hug It Forward, started this charity project, starting from the web. His website, in fact, holds the countdown: 69 months, 60 schools built, at a cost of $ 6,500 per class. In the northern Philippines has also created a manual open source, distributed in local schools, in which you explain the benefits of recycling and this innovative approach. As part of the curriculum, in addition, students are to create a EcoBrick week describing the work done to make it happen. These bricks are a sustainable solution other than to waste management: what could in fact become locally recovery of plastic? The EcoBricks transform waste into a highly insulating material and affordable and also contribute to addressing the problem of unemployment and lack of housing.
In the town of Greyton the initiative is trying to contribute to a country severely affected by social problems such as the need for house in relation to the growing population on the rise. Nicholas Vernon, one of the founders of the initiative, called the project a model of transition that has adapted to the challenges of Greyton: “EcoBricks is the best example of social integration that I have ever encountered in 30 years of work in social services” . In fact, using this approach, we are also taking other works such as community gardens in collaboration with local schools and an eco-village that has employed 18 people.
