It may be a recyclable material but a near 130-year-old glass bottle has been found during a massive beach clean blitz involving hundreds of school children along the Cork coast.
The antique medicine bottle, which dates between 1880 and 1900, is now being used as an environmental teaching tool to show children that just because we throw something away, it doesn’t mean it goes away.
