Cordillera - They may be only elementary pupils, but these two kids have a
brilliant mind of an inventor.
Nixon L. Labian and Jimber Lee A. Camared of Sagada, Mt. Province just
invented a treadle glass and bottle crusher that is capable of crushing
bottles and broken glasses which are not usually accepted in most junk shop.
The machine can be used to crushed bottle that can be mixed with cement
according to Mt. Province PIO.
The crusher that was invented by Labian and Camared even got a nod from the
Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office. The office found that
the crusher is a functional hand operated manual treadle glass and bottle
crusher with pedal. The crusher is operated using a discarded bicycle
attached to it with brace to make it steady and more durable.
The machine is capable of crushing medicine bottles, broken glasses and
other types of bottles. It can grind bottles that weigh about 2575
grams.
Using a recycled ball mill, Labiang who was then in grade VI in school year
2016-2017 invented an improvised glass and bottle crusher. Last year,
Camared introduced innovations to the prototype glass crusher by attaching a
bicycle to function as a treadle. The treadle glass and bottle crusher entry
of Banga-an Elementary School was able to garner the first place during last
year's Regional Science and Math Festival - Elementary Category of the
Department of Education held at La Trinidad, Benguet.

Wow,,this is great...the award should be more to inspire them..
Congratulations. I hope it won't only end by publishing it but it should be supported and replicated to be used in most places to help ease the problem on scattered glasses and bottles to make them useful. And for healthy environment
