Thank you so much for your generosity. It's such an honor to get an award from you all! I chose this project because I wanted to make an environmental impact and I wasn't seeing enough of an impact from commercial companies today. The usage of chemicals harms the organic biodegration of bioplastics as well as harm wildlife. I was surprised how using organic ingredients I could make a bioplastic that biodegraded 23% faster than the commercial ones. I didn't think homemade ingredients would produce such an efficient bioplastic and I actually thought that usage of chemicals would decompose the plastics faster, but not always. Receiving this award means so much to me and I really value your consideration of my project. Thank you again! - Kareena K., Grade 10
