This School In Jamshedpur Is All Set To Build Eco-Friendly Toilets Out Of Plastic Bottles
The empty unused water bottles would be filled with sand, iron-ore dust and slag ash. These materials would serve as an alternative to bricks.
Manav Vikas School is all set to have environment-friendly toilet made of plastic bottles and other materials, setting an example for others to follow to get rid of the mammoth plastic waste.
