[November Thematic Report] An Ocean Microplastic Solution

by Deeksha Ravi | 06-11-2023 02:12 recommendations 1

Recently I worked on a hackathon team where we were asked to solve an existing problem using a technology developed in the past 3-5 years. Our team chose to tackle ocean microplastic pollution with nanotechnology. Below is a one-pager on our solution.

Working on this challenge helped me realize that sometimes, solutions are not as simple as simply preventing the root cause. We may also need methods to address the damage that has already been done.
I hope that by reading this you have learned about an interesting new application of an existing technology. Let us all continue to solve environmental problems and keep hope alive for our living planet.

    Ravi, you are highly courageous and curious. I go with you that solutions are not as simple as simply preventing the root cause. We may also need methods to address the damage that has already been done. Thank you for this brilliant report.
