Ingenious Recycling Box Provides Food for Stray Animals When a Bottle is Deposited

The Turkish company Pugedon has recently introduced a vending machine that's an innovative way to help both the environment and our furry friends. It releases food for the city's stray dogs and cats every time a plastic bottle is deposited, and it allows people to empty their water bottles for the animals as well.

This wonderful service operates at no charge to the city because the recycled plastic pays for the cost of food. So, with a little financial investment, the simple machines do a lot of good. They provide a steady source of sustenance to the animals, many of which rely on caring residents to regularly feed them. It also encourages people to make a habit of recycling and help conserve our environment for future generations.
