KNOWLEDGE BASE VACATION IN BOCAS DEL TORO, PANAMA.
“Repent For Your Plastic Bottle Crimes.”
Having a vacation at the Dungeon jailhouse of Plastic Bottle Village is a conscious experience of a lifetime!
A Knowledge based Vacation, were we educate in a fun and adventurous way.
The current and past generations are all guilty by lack of knowledge for what happened to our planet and oceans regarding the invasion of the single use plastic bottle only forty years ago. We never saw it coming, and now it’s almost too late?
We can live with the crime we committed, or give ourselves up to the positive feeling of erasing some of our carbon footprints. Once you experience the fun and education of sleeping in a mock jail cell made of 10,000 PET bottles, you will be so inspired that you will want to start fresh again but this time working with and not against our planet. The environment is filled with paintings, posters, and videos containing real messages that will change your perspective on what products and packaging you choose to support in your daily lives.
The cost for this repent vacation is $30/day pp, for a private room with double bunk beds, desk, shared bathrooms, kitchen and lounge areas. Guests will enjoy all access to the amazing Castle Inspiration, large private pool, restaurant and bar, and includes a REPENT T-SHIRT.
Every inspired guest will get a certificate celebrating that you have repented, and that from now on you will think about helping Mother Earth and changing your old consumption habits.
Scientists say at the pace we are on, there will be more plastic than fish in all of our oceans by 2050.

We all remember the big oil spill in 2010 in Gulf of Mexico, caused by the explosion of the oil platform Horizon where unfortunately 14 persons lost their lives.
The platform was owned by British Petroleum.
BP had to pay 60 billion $ for this accidental oil spill.
PET plastic bottles are modified oil. They are the biggest non-accidental oil spill of human time.
How much $ does the bottlers of the World contribute to clean their non-accidental oil spill?
How many Billions are spent to look for a new planet with water and oxygen?
We don't need a new planet, we need to clean our own planet..
Maybe if the bottlers would contribute to a cleaning fund, the funds could be used to start giving incentive to population of emerging Countries, and have them cleaning in exchange of food and cell phone time.
Food for thought.
Nathaniel C. Wyeth
Born October 24, 1911
Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, United States
Died July 4, 1990 (aged 78)
Nationality American
Alma mater University of Pennsylvania
Occupation inventor, chemical engineer
In 1967, he pondered whether soda could be stored in plastic bottles. After experimenting with a plastic detergent bottle that proved incapable of withstanding the forces of pressurized liquids, he realized that a much stronger material would be required. He settled on polyethylene terephthalate ( PET) as the material and received a patent in 1973.
What a great invention in 1973. Forty years later, if Nathaniel came out of his grave today, and saw the disaster his invention created to our planet, he would probably realize that his invention was more a crime against humanity.
Time needed to drink the content, and how much time for the bottle to self degrade.
That only 30 % would be recycled into polyester clothes, and 70% would be spread in our ocean’s and nature.
That nature would need 500 years + to degrade, and eliminated that bottle.
That human life expectancy is 80 years, some humans can reach 100 years, and his bottles last 500 year +.
That every time someone would consume a drink, he would mortgage the generations to follow, for 500 + years?
That plastic in the oceans can act as a magnifying glass, and contribute to global warming by heating the sea water, and melting the iceberg.
That every time polyester clothes made out of recycled PET bottles would go in our washing machines, that Billions of fibers would be sent in our oceans?
Say NO to single use plastic bottles
If you say YES, than drink it, and build it

A plastic bottle is a bottle constructed from high-density or low density plastic. Plastic bottles are typically used to store liquids such as water, soft drinks, motor oil, cooking oil, medicine, shampoo, milk, and ink. The size ranges from very small bottles to large carboys. Consumer blow molded containers often have integral handles or are shaped to facilitate grasping.[2][3]
Plastic was invented in the 19th century and was originally used to replace common materials such as ivory, rubber, and shellac.[4] Plastic bottles were first used commercially in 1947, but remained relatively expensive until the early 1950s when high-density polyethylene was introduced.[5] They quickly became popular with both manufacturers and customers because compared to glass bottles, plastic bottles are lighter, cheaper and easier to transport.[6][7][8] However, the biggest advantage plastic bottles have over their glass counterparts is their superior resistance to breakage, in both production and transportation. Except for wine and beer, the food industry has largely replaced glass bottles with plastic bottles.

Concerns
[

There is ongoing concern as to the use of plastics in consumer food packaging solutions, environmental impact of the disposal of these products, as well as concerns regarding consumer safety. Karin Michaels, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, suggests that toxins leaching from plastics might be related to disorders in humans such as endocrine disruption.[11] Aluminum and cyanide were found as trace elements in the examined samples but they are considered to be toxic elements according to the United States food and drug administration FDA. In the United States, plastic water bottles are regulated by the FDA which also inspects and samples bottled water plants periodically. Plastic water bottle plants hold a low priority for inspection due to a continuously good safety record.[12] In the past, the FDA maintained that there was a lack of human data showing plastics pose health problems. However, in January 2010, the FDA reversed its opinion saying they now have concerns about health risks.[11]
It is a common misconception that drinking from plastic water bottles increases cancer risk; there is no such risk.[13]
An article published on 6 November 2017 in Water Research reported on the content of microplastics in mineral waters packed in plastic or glass bottles, or beverage cartons.[14] In 2018, research conducted by Sherri Mason from the State University of New York in Fredonia revealed the presence of polypropylene, polystyrene, nylon and polyethylene terephthalate microparticles in plastic bottles. Polypropylene was hereby found to be the most common polymeric material (54%) and nylon the second most abundant (16%) polymeric material. The study also mentioned that polypropylene and polyethylene are polymers that are often used to make plastic bottle caps. Also, 4% of retrieved plastic particles were found to have signatures of industrial lubricants coating the polymer.[15] The research was reviewed by Andrew Mayes of the University of East Anglia (UEA) School of Chemistry[16] The European Food Safety Authority suggested most microplastics are excreted by the body, however the UN Food and Agriculture Organization warned that it is possible that the smallest particles (< 1.5 μm) could enter the bloodstream and organs, via the intestinal wall.[17][18]
Labelling
[
edit
]
Plastic bottles are marked at their base with the resin identification code to indicate the material used.[19][self-published source?]
Product labels are attached with adhesive or are shrunk to fit. In-mould labelling is a process of building the label into the bottle during molding.
Speciality types

Collapsible bottle
[
edit
]
An accordion bottle or collapsible bottle is a plastic bottle designed to store darkroom chemicals or any other chemical that is highly susceptible to oxidation. They work by being able to squeeze down to remove excess air from the bottle to extend the life of the product.[20] An alternate benefit is minimizing storage, transportation, or disposal space when the bottle is empty or as the content is being dispersed, for example with water bottles used by hikers. Collapsing can also keep foods fresher.[21]
Carbonated drinks bottles
[
edit
]
Bottles, used for storing carbonated water and soft drinks, has an uneven bottom for stability reasons.[22] The technology was developed and patented by Lithuanian Domas Adomaitis in 1971.[22][23]
