Accordingly, Peyton has invented a flood-proof bag so people can easily cope with the sudden climate change today.

This is considered a good preventive system against flooding coming from big storms. It was the damage of Hurricane Sandy that had devastated the US that Peyton had to think: 'how to help people protect themselves from disasters' and the idea also started there. He spent a year just to study this useful bag.

According to Gentside, it is a sandbag containing a very light, liquid salt and polymer mixture that is easy to transport and store. This type of bag when it comes to water will swell, forming dikes to prevent water from entering the residential area.

The invention brought Peyton a $ 25,000 bonus with a trip to Costa Rica. This money will help young talents perform some cherished projects.
