Plastic pollution is a ubiquitous environmental problem. One middle school student, Ethan Eliason, was motivated to do something about it and his research earned him the Lemelson Early Inventor Prize at the Denver Metro Regional Science and Engineering Fair in Colorado. Ethan’s project, “Waste to Wealth,” takes plastic waste and shapes them into “bricks” to be used for building.
