Back in 2018, I founded an environemntal organisation called Bottl'd back in 2018. Bottl’d is a not for profit organization who's mission is to upcycle thousands of water bottles that would have gone to waste and turn them into greenhouses around our community. By starting this project, I hope to inspire others to passion about the environment, in addition to reducing waste and encouraging green growing practices. Bottl'd has partnered with the CN Tower in Toronto, who provides us empty bottles and who have commissioned a greenhouse to be built on their grounds to be admired by tourists! Unfortuanately, this project has been put on hold due to COVID-19 but I hope to start it up again post-pandemic and complete the greenhouse for the CN tower. Hover over images to learn more!
Our first attempt at a wall was less than successful. I needed people to hold it together while I took the photo, it took us over 15 hours to make, and it wasn't very stable.
Our final wall design was much more sturdy and took less than half the time to make, as well as being much less expensive than our original design.
We are looking forward to eventually displaying and growing in the greenhouse outside the CN tower!
