We chose to focus on climate change as a challenge because we want to make a difference no matter how big or small to our environment. We can see just how much climate change is affecting the Earth and humans are one of the main causes of this. Humans are constantly polluting the Earth by throwing plastic and rubbish into the oceans and on the side of roads and we want to reduce that even if it only makes a small difference.
From our research we discovered that it can take up to 1,000 years for a simple plastic bottle to decompose.
Our town community are always looking at ways to help keep our community and environment clean. They inspired us to try and do something that makes a difference.
Promote using biodegradable materials/products on social media so people are more aware that they are better for the environment.
One solution we are considering is testing out different materials to see which one would break down the fastest and consider making products using that material if possible.
Would you consider buying cups, etc made from a biodegradable and more sustainable material instead of plastic.
