Enviro Pots
| Division: | Biotechnology | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Victoria County | | City: | Reaboro, ON | | School: | Heritage Christian School | | Abstract: | Many plastic flower pots are disposed of into landfill sites each year. I created a product that is both beneficial for horticulture, agriculture and the environment - a biodegradable flower pot that is manufactured out of composted manure and paper. It reduces garbage and adds nutrients to the soil. |
