This 14-year-old just turned 'trash' into a solution that could finally end our plastic crisis.

Lucas Tadao Sugahara Wernick, a 14-year-old student from Curitiba, Brazil, created biodegradable food trays using cassava peels and araucaria tree residues. This school project offers a sustainable alternative to Styrofoam. By using agricultural waste, Lucas showed how simple materials can help reduce plastic pollution and protect our environment today.
