Millennium Fellowship Project: Reuse
I looked around my campus and I discovered a peculiar problem which is waste.we have a lot of waste generated both inside the school and off campus, which leads to the burning and polluting of the campus and environment.
The idea I look to work towards is to get this waste sorted according to their groups from plastic to metals to what's so ever waste it may be.
I and my team will collect this waste and assemble this in to there look alike group,we will partner with other recycling company who need our waste and supply to them.
We will also reach out to fertilizer companies that work with biodegradable waste and supply those biodegradable waste.
By doing this we will be able to reduce burning and pollution drastically .
