  • Kibera, Nairobi - On Nov 22nd 2012: A section of deep Kibera slum. Because of the start and progress of the water bottle project, the coordinators have at least taken great steps in educating a portion of the slum to assist most of the home dwellers in being able to manage their power consumption during the day.<br />

  • Kibera, Nairobi - On Nov 22nd 2012: A simple bottle bulb, usually a litre soda bottle is filled with a solution of purified water and bleach. The bottle is inserted halfway through a hole drilled in the metal roof and its sides are sealed tightly with plasticine. This will look like a bulb through a sunroof and provides a good amount of light by diffracting sunlight into the classroom and gloomy interiors.<br />

  • Kibera, Nairobi - On Nov 22nd 2012: Kibera is the most studied slum in Africa. Only about 20% of Kibera has electricity. UN-Habitat is in the process of providing power to some parts of Kibera – this will include street lighting, security lighting and connection to the shanties (this costs Ksh 900 per shanty, which in most cases is not affordable).<br />

On Trump’s 100th day in office, we sent a *very* political message: This isn’t Trump’s America — it’s ours. Climate change isn’t a hoax — it’s a crisis. And the climate movement isn’t giving up or going away.<br />

  • ANACORTES, WASHINGTON-- On Sunday, March 15, 2016, over a hundred people gathered at March Point to sit-in at the entrance to the Shell oil refineries in Anacortes, WA. <br />
<br />
Over the weekend, thousands of people converged in Anacortes, WA, as part of the global climate mobilization Break Free. Many risked arrest by engaging in peaceful civil disobedience throughout the weekend to highlight the moral urgency of immediate action to combat climate change. <br />
<br />
Anacortes is home to two fossil fuel refineries owned by Shell and Tesoro. These refineries are the largest unaddressed source of carbon pollution in the Northwest and they refine 47% of all the gas and diesel used in the region. <br />
<br />
Break Free Pacific Northwest events will continue throughout the weekend. <br />

  • Kibera, Nairobi - On Nov 22nd 2012: A group of the Adventure pride Centre pupils demonstrate the process of making the water bottle bulb. One of these "do-it-yourself" lights takes maybe an hour to install. Cutting an appropriate hole, inserting a bleached-water-filled bottle, and resealing around the resulting gap. Even where clean water is rare, a little can generally be spared for almost a decade of lighting. In addition, bleach is added to the water to avoid contamination of the water thus making it last and shine longer.<br />
