Lou introduces herself and highlights the issue of glass waste on the island of Zanzibar, where glass is often discarded without recycling. To tackle this problem, she and her team collect bottles from tourists. For every 20 bottles collected, they transform one into a candle and one into a product, while the remaining 18 bottles are crushed and mixed with cement to create functional bricks. This innovative approach not only utilizes 50,000 bottles per house but also makes homes stronger and more beautiful. However, this sustainable solution has taken years to perfect, and there is hope that many houses will eventually be made from glass.
