| Samara Green, Anaya Permanand Is It Possible to Repurpose Slag from the Nickel Mining Industry?
Défi: | Innovation | Catégorie: | Junior | Région: | Northern Manitoba | Ville: | Thompson, MB | École: | Riverside School | Sommaire: | We wanted to find a useful and environmentally safe way to help reduce the stockpile of slag, while contributing to an effective solution towards infrastructure and agriculture in Thompson. This project could mean: reducing the slag pile at Vale; helping the city reduce budget costs for road repairs; building community gardens, and creating a stronger more durable type of sandpaper we call it Slag paper. |
