  • In the Philippines' urban slums, families are unable to afford electricity and often have no access to the grid anyway. But Filipino actor Illac Diaz is looking to change that. With his organization My Shelter Foundation, he's come up with an innovative idea: turning empty plastic bottles into lamps.

    Suggestion: don't get stuck in dumb sniping at people who think outside the box. Illac Diaz has devised a wonderful eco friendly solution to the problem of lack of electricity in many regions. He has improved the lives of hundreds of thousands in the developing world. Kids can read and do homework, mothers can cook and do chores, people are safer in their homes, there are far less accidental fires. Hey, sounds good to me. You naysayers - y'all got a better idea?

    In my opinion, it doesn't matter who discovered or invented it. What matters most, it is shared to our less fortunate "kababayan" that might help them a little bit on their daily lives on such living condition. I hope our government can do more to improve their situation not only with them in the slums but to all Filipinos. (not mentioning corruption, etc.)
