With plastic pollution on the rise, the environment has seen a huge negative impact. While biodegradable alternatives have been around, are they really the most efficient alternative? Biodegradables often don’t degrade well and still cause a negative environmental impact. Looking specifically at straws, there are a few disposable alternatives to plastic, but which are the

Ocean acidification is currently a major issue because of the damages it causes on the ocean’s ecosystem beginning with coral bleaching. In some past research, aquatic plants have demonstrated the ability to increase pH of surrounding water through carbon fixation and photosynthesis. With these ideas in mind, a series of tank experiments were created for

The purpose of our project is to focus on portability and cost efficiency by creating a 3D printed water filter apparatus that is portable, efficient and utilizes the combination of size exclusion and activated carbon filtration. 3D_Printed_Water_Filter  

Our goal is to create the most viable and cost-efficient permeable concrete. We want to make permeable concrete an alternative to combatting flash floods and other natural disasters. Using scientific journals, we have studied other scientists’ research of permeable concrete and applied it to our experiment. Permeable Concrete for Urban Runoff
