齊來轉「塑」快、海洋健康曬!
Theme of the Portfolio
Introduction
日常生活中使用的塑膠製品,例如膠袋、保鮮紙等,在生產時會消耗大量的化石燃料,加劇全球暖化。廢棄後的塑膠製品會造成塑膠污染,除了需上百年才能天然分解之外,降解的過程中所釋放的物質對土地、海洋以及生物都會造成影響,甚至經由食物鏈危害人類。有見及此,參賽學生研究從生物可分解塑膠的概念出發,希望製作出一種生物可降解的塑膠材料取代部份傳統一次性塑膠,從而去解決海洋塑膠污染。

化廢為肥
Theme of the Portfolio
Introduction
參賽學生參考環保酵素的製作方法,研究如何善用廚餘分解液及堆肥,重建泥土微生物群落,從而提高農作物的生長速度。參賽學生利用從健康工坊所提供的廚餘,包括杏仁渣、柑橘,及獲取一些雜魚,並以黑糖漿和EM菌去製造不同的分解液,讓特定微生物群落得以活化,再利用這些分解液、EM菌和黑糖漿去活化於網購平台所購得的堆肥,和從有機菇場所獲取的菇料作為堆肥,以了解能否刺激植物生長。
