Millennium Fellowship Project: Tackling Microplastics by Awareness
Tackling Microplastics by Awareness is a student-led initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the harmful effects of microplastics on the environment and human health. Through workshops, campaigns, and community events, the project aims to educate peers and the wider community about everyday sources of microplastics and simple lifestyle changes that can reduce their spread.
