At the age of just fourteen, Remya Jose from India came up with her first invention: a pedal-powered washing machine made from recycled bike parts that makes laundry easier for families without electricity. 🚲 🌍 ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ 💚 Follow instagram.com/sustainabilitychampions for more positive updates! Remya - from Kizhattoor Panchayat, India - came up with the idea after her mother fell ill. Instead of washing clothes by hand in the river, Jose has created a solution that saves time and effort!⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Clothes and detergent are placed into the cylinder, and the aluminum cabin is filled with enough water to immerse the clothes. The washing cycle then begins, soaking the laundry for 10 minutes. ⁣ ⁣ The cylinder moves fast enough to scour off dirt with constant beating against the mesh. Once the water is drained, the machine can used to even dry the clothes! ⁣⁣⁣Remya's story shows that with creativity, one individual can improve the lives of many.⁣ ⁣ Source: Borgen Project⁣ ⁣ Do you know someone who is a Sustainability Champion?
