Calling all budding environmentalists, the team from Rubbish Science has an important mission for you.
Can you think like a scientist and create something that has the potential to solve a real-world problem using only what we find in our bins?
In a world where poverty and plastic pollution are growing crises, the Rubbish Science charity work with communities in some of the poorest regions in the world to equip them with the skills to turn trash into treasure. From fishing nets and self-watering plant pots to water filtration systems and fly traps, are you ready to join the movement and get creating?
