STEM Careers Coalition: Plastic Patrol

How can communities reduce impact of plastic waste on the environment?

Students discover the environmental cost of “single-use” plastics, particularly the negative impacts on the Earth’s waterways. They will think constructively about plastic waste by designing, building, and optimizing their own solutions for re-using waste on a local level.
