🌍♻️ Big news from our corner! We're excited to showcase one of our funded projects "Huskies' Precious Plastics" – a project that's all about turning plastic recycling into a daily habit on campus.

🌟 Their mission is to spread the word about why recycling matters and to get everyone involved. It's not just about knowing; it's about doing. The team is passionate about teaching students and the public how to repurpose plastic actively.

🏗️ Huskies Amy Jean Swanson, Cody Birkland, and Arjun Simha have come up with cool infrastructure that makes recycling plastic easy-peasy. Plus, they're now working on scaling this and rolling out recycling centers across UW campus. How awesome is that?

These Huskies are the brains and brawn behind this fantastic project. They're not just talking the talk; they're walking the walk in making our campus more sustainable.
