Sustainable fashion and vertical farming: Young Scientists go green This year’s BT Young Scientist event features plenty of projects with a focus on sustainability and the environment. The 2021 BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition kicked off yesterday (6 January), with 550 projects from students around Ireland brought together in a new virtual format. While many projects at the 2021 exhibition are focused on Covid-19 and the ongoing pandemic, sustainability is another big theme with students this year. Orlaith Ni Ghallchobhair from St Kevin’s Community College in Wicklow wanted to investigate whether nettles could be a sustainable solution to fast fashion. “The inspiration for this project was when I realised that most of my wardrobe is made from synthetic fibres,” she said in her project video. “While these garments can be recycled several times, it takes 200 years for them to break down.”
