Three 16 year old Indian students can remove microplastics from water using tamarind seeds.
And they've received a $12,500 grant from The Earth Prize to develop this solution.
How did they do it?
Tamarind seeds have something called polysaccharide - which is a sticky compound that can natural polymer. Kinda like a plant-based glue.
This glue when mixed with water can pull out microplastics and clump them together.
And these kids are using the same principle to develop their product called "Plas-Stick" - which is just this power made from waste tamarind seeds.
Now, "Plas-Stick" is still in its developmental stage and there is a lot that needs to be done before it can be scaled.
But if they pull this off - we could have a simple, biodegradable and scalable solution to purify water for billions of people in the world.
And that's something.
Kudos to Vivaan Chhawchharia, Ariana Agarwal, and Avyana Mehta.

@D507AD@ECISVEEP 2 important elections coming up. Modi attacked opposition parties on national TV. You cannot announce a national address and make it an election campaign
Election time. & the PM uses national media to berate opposition parties for the failure to pass the women reservation bill that they conveniently bonded with delimitation. Will opposition parties be given similar use of media for responding? Why couldn't the bills be separate?
