Connor Sanders, 2009 April 29 thanks | | Spencer - My name is Spencer Young, I am 12 years old, and I attend grade seven at Macleod Public School in Sudbury, Ontario. I am the youngest of three brothers. My family moved to Sudbury from Toronto when I was four. Living in a small northern community provides me with the opportunity to enjoy many sports like hockey (goalie), baseball (back catcher), soccer, and of course the Wii and Rock Band. Much of my free time is spent outdoors at my cottage: swimming, playing pool and ping-pong. My family is very competitive and we always challenge each other to be the alpha male. When I get older I want to pursue studies in science. This project was important to me because it is essential that we all work together to keep our planet clean and healthy for our future generations. |

Material Matters
| Division: | International / Environmental Innovation | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Sudbury | | City: | Sudbury, ON | | School: | MacLeod P.S. | | Abstract: | This project seeks to answer a problem that plagues society and the Earth as a whole. Plastic packaging, like the plastic bags used at grocery stores are taking an eternity to decompose, poisoning the Earth. We sought to contrive a cost-effective product that mimicked the properties of commercial plastic but decomposed readily. We compared the benefits of other biodegradable products to produce our own. |
