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. |
