Plastic bottles are taken for granted and regularly recycled, but rarely is the brilliance of their fossil fuel origins acknowledged. The fuel savings of such a lightweight solution to glass bottles had immense repercussions worldwide when originally put into use. Those who wish to eradicate fossil products from modern life would do well to "think it through" on their own before acting in harmony with a chorus of nay sayers. We're especially impressed with this "Lighten up" video.

How plastic bottles can lighten up the darkness
Demi Boukas has come up with a win win solution to pay his electric bill. He bought a solar light from a local guy in San Pedro, just south of Manila, Elok Vias. Enthused by the new light, Demi decided to manufacture them himself and sell them for about a dollar apiece to improve the lives of those around him and keep his bills paid. See the video here. The light consists of a plastic one liter bottle with some water and a touch of chlorine in it, capped and wedged into a hole in what is common in the area for roofs, corrugated metal. A brilliant and simple solution to a problem largely overlooked. We would like to congratulate him on his resourcefullness. Demi is certainly one whose glass is half full rather than half empty!

The Greatest Music Video Ever? Posted by SarahDMZ (Dennis Miller Zone)
VIDEO: The Greatest Music Video Ever?

For once, Roger Ebert and HotAir.com might agree on something. See what you think about this stunning Grand Rapids music video, directed by Dennis Miller's radio guest, Rob Bliss.
When Grand Rapids ended up on the list of 'American Dying Cities,' they wanted to prove that there are still in it to win it. With $40,000 and a cast of 5,000, Bliss's goosebumps-worthy video uses a live track of Don McLean's 'American Pie' and a single take through one of the heartland's most prideful cities.
