An innovative initiative is taking place in the Philippines to bring sustainable lighting to homes in impoverished communities. Empty plastic bottles are installed in the roof, filled with water and bleach they refract sunlight. These “solar light bulbs” provide light equivalent to a 55watt light bulb.

I feel like I shouldn’t have come…
I had fun yesterday, until after lunch when I think I was just getting hot and 6.5 hours of driving and maybe 3 hours of sleep was getting to me. I was so angry and frustrated and didn’t want to talk to Sean. Which seems dumb when I drove all this way to see him.
While I was having fun we caught a HUGE snapping turtle, about a foot wide, and maybe 1.5-2 feet head to snout. I saw a water snake in the lake where we were eating lunch and some beavers when we were tracking the other turtle. It was nice to see what Sean does all day, and it makes me glad it’s his job and not mine. I got a little burnt, but it’s already mostly just brown not red. Mostly I didn’t talk to him from when we went out to track the last turtle until this morning. We got home at like 5 last night. He went back out for the 2nd and 3rd surveys and dinner at the research site, I stayed here and slept. Part of me still just wants to leave and drive home today, but that would be a very poor choice. I do love him after all.
Another bit of sleep (it’s so much cooler today, cloudy and windy instead of no wind and 30C), and I think I’ll start working on my essay for school. At least that will distract me.
