   Bisphenol A leachates from polycarbonates may contaminate water run-off from the roof.

   Provided these are waste bottles, they’ll be mainly PET, which doesn’t contain BP-A. Now, PET has benzene rings in it, but it’s fairly stable unless burned. The more expensive PC bottles would probably not be used in this application.

   While I applaud the reuse of materials, I wouldn’t call this beautiful. It looks like a trash pile (no offense).

   Don’t go breathing the air inside that greenhouse. Polyethylene terephthalate (recycling code number 1) desintergrates due to sunlight. The process is called photodegredation. The particles are released in the air and breathing them has been proven to cause cancer. Photodegradation also seeps plastic particles into the liquids these bottles contain.
