Save the planet? Nah

Today, our art teacher told us we will have to build a giant Coca-Cola bottle made of smaller ones as our art project for next week, meant to represent the damage consumerism does to our environment. I think he doesn’t understand we will have to buy tons of Coke to get the bottles needed. FML

Try some recycling strategy, like setting up a collecting boot somewhere for people to dump their bottles.

I'm not going to insult OP's intelligence by assuming that they picked buying them because they were too dumb to think of recycling. Instead, I am going to guess that the issue is that OP not only doesn't have friends and family to obtain coke bottles from, but the insanely short time given. I'd take the time frame up with the teacher, and then the principal or head of the art department, OP. Point out that, given the nature of the project, it would be against the meaning to go out and buy probably dozens of gallons of coke to meet the deadline. Add in that, regardless of whether you used purchased or recycled, the bottles would need washed inside and out before being used, unless they want to practically roll out the red carpet for roaches and the like- and as such, the timeframe is unrealistic. Finally, ask if it would be possible to do a bottle drive type thing, and have students drop off bottles in the art room or other designated space. If enough students are upset by the demands of a project, chances are that someone in charge will eventually work to make it more reasonable, if only to shut people up.

Or you could go to your schools recycle bins or any other recyle bins

Ask your teacher if you can work on the same consumerism theme through a different medium. Something you have at home.

Don't you suppose you're meant to use recycled bottles???
