1 Idea
Deforestation is a wrong activity which will negatively affect the earth's health condition, thus i wish to deliver message of the importance of tree through presenting tree images by bottle shape.
The green color of the bottle and the brown color of the inner wall represent an image of a tree; the water inside seems like illustrating water is the growth factor of tree. Moreover, if everyone holds this bottle, an atmosphere of green environment can be set up which helps arousing the concern about trees and also their importance.

2 Mechanisms:

2.1 Separation between the lid and bottle body
The lid and bottle body are fixed by tight fit
2.2 Opening and closing of the lid
The bottle is opened and closed through a sliding plate installed.
The safety lock is pressed down:
No water will be leaked out as the plate becomes unmovable and is fit with the wall of lid.
The safety lock is opened:
The plate can be moved backward and water can come out.

Furthermore, the rail designed at the lid enhances the sliding of the plate with safety lock without easy dislocation or loosening; the fixed position of the lock makes the locking can only be done when the lid is completed closed, and this feature can arouse user that the bottle is not yet closed completely when they notice the lock cannot be pressed down. Therefore, risk of the happening of leakage of water can be minimized.

2.3 Storing place for medicine
There is a cover with rod which can fit into the column space at the lid, the the mechanism applies Mortise and Tenon Joint.

3 Functions
This is a reusable water bottle with 2 functions.
First, this can be used for storing both hot and cold water as the bottle body is made of glass which has high temperature resistance and chemical resistance.
Second, there is a small place for storing first-aid medicine, which make people in need taking medicine in a convenient way.
In addition, the bottle is in an appropriate size which is easy to hold by one hand; small size enhances the fitting in car cup holder; the rubber material used for its bottom can increase friction to avoid easy sliding.
