saving pet tree by seung yeon ryu from korea

1. Background
1) In vacational paradises, garbages are always the problems.
Especially thrown away plastic bottles can pollute our sea and the environment.
2) A lot of drowning accidents occur during Summer.
For such occasions tubes with attached ropes are prepared.
3) Plastic bottles can be used instead of roped tubes, to rescue those people from drowning.

2. Design Concept
An easier way of disposing plastic bottles + Saving people from drowning accidents

This plastic bottle recycling design is for creating much floatable plastic bottles formation
and by showing the stacked bottles, it promotes people to participate in the separate garbage collecting.

Even if no roped-tubes were prepared near the vacational grounds for emergency purposes,
these plastic bottles could be used as rescue tubes which is very economical.

Moreover the design implies plastic bottles are to be inserted with their caps on,
therefore making it easier for collecting the bottles with their lids on.

The Plastic bottles are to be inserted near the users' heights.
Push the lever on the side upward in order to stack them on top.
The plastic bottles in the tube-form will be released as the lever is pushed all the way
which can be used to hurl at drowning people, after that pull back the rope to save them.
