Brief Analysis

The information in the message is true. Given the right kind of plastic container and the right environmental conditions, sun shining through a water bottle can indeed lead to combustion. A round plastic bottle filled with clear water can act as a lens that concentrates the sun's energy on one point.

Paper does take some time to burn..but fabric is bound to show signs of sun burn more quickly....
