Task
5. Chemistry against single-use plastic
Required
How chemistry can be used to reduce the environmental impact of single-use items: water bottles, bags, straws, batteries. Not gated by anything: you can do this on day one.
Notes and warnings
Note. Requirements 5 to 8 are the ungated half of this badge. Nothing in them waits on requirement 1, so they are the ones to start while you are arranging counselor time for the experiments.
