"The IFERB project “Why all the plastic” inspired several students to take an interest in the issue of plastic pollution within their own communities. Three active students conducted nearly thirty awareness sessions in different areas of their community focused on environment-friendly use of plastic and alternate solutions, encourging recycling as a method of countering the negative impact of single-use plastic. To lead by example, the students designed about thirty multipurpose handbags created from used cardboard and cloth."
