LIST OF MEMBERS
Among the problems that have been affecting our community every year are
pollution (a deliberate act of man by means of polluting) and flooding(state of
being under water: the situation that results when land that is usually dry is
covered with water as a result of overflowing of heavy rain).
Plastic bottles come in handy because they contain the purified water and the favorite juice we drink. Despite our education, for some people, throwing them away also comes in handy. The problem is how to
make use of these discarded plastic bottles.
Flooding is a yearly problem. Water rises so fast that people are usually caught off
guarded and some get drowned. The problem is how to make an affordable
personal floating device to keep people from drowning.
In doing so, we can also minimize the amount of discarded plastic bottles that are considered as one of the causes of
flooding.

MATERIALS USED
24 PLASTIC BOTTLES: 16 (350 ml) AND 8 (280 ml)
MATERIALS USED
An orange gina cloth is cut and sewed to the pattern of a “chaleco” vest. The orange cloth is chosen to provide easy visibility. Securing cords are attached in the front for easy fastening.
PROCEDURE
Big pockets are sewn around the waist with each compartment capable of holding 3 to 4 regular sized (350 ml) mineral plastic bottles. About 12 to 16 bottles all together are used. Pockets are compartmentalized to maintain buoyancy should other pockets are damaged in use.
Smaller pockets are sewn on the upper chest and back with each compartment designed to hold 2 solo sized (280 ml) plastic bottles. About 8 bottles all together are used. Note that the number of bottles may vary depending on the size of the vest.
Plastic zippers are used to open and close the pockets. They provide easy opening and closing should there be a need to replace the bottles.
The bottles should be empty with their caps tightly closed. They are arranged in a fence-like or palisading manner.
The vest is then ready for use.

FINISHED PRODUCT
Commercially produced life vests are usually expensive and could not be
afforded by simple folks. In fact most households don’t have them. In areas where flooding down to the waist is a
normal occurrence, people should start having one for each member of the family. The study will benefit the poor people to
provide them with an affordable life saving floating device.
