In the process of using the bottles/sun for purification, it almost has to
be plastic. Reason being is that glass bottles are thicker than plastic
bottles, which further reduces the dose of UVA to the water inside glass
bottles versus plastic bottles.
I found it odd when I learned this myself because I assumed that the glass
would magnify the suns effects but that isn't the case.

====================
“Far Better it is to Dare Mighty Things than to take rank with those poor,
timid spirits Who know Neither Victory nor Defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
"I was not delivered unto this world in defeat,
nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a
sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I
am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep
with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep
and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let
them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure
is not my destiny.
