EcoIntent

April 20, 2018

My eco intent is try to invent or replace plastic, for a more faster biodegradable, and edible form of plastic. I chose this intent based on two things. One I watched a video showing that besides some places around America, India is the biggest polluter when it comes to having their waters filled with plastic. It is destroying the environment and ruining what was once beautiful places to see into a place where you don’t want to go any more. There are companies both profit and non-profit doing a clean up of this and I am here to help. The second reason I chose this was I saw that Budwiser, I believe, started to make biodegradable/edible rings to hold their beer because the ring loops, have been killing and harming wildlife. So I plan on doing something similar but on a more wider scale where we have a more hybrid form of plastic that is safer for the environment, and will help those companies who are trying to clean up our oceans.

Budget: $30k-$40k
