Waste and pollution projects translate environmental science into practical interventions that protect waterways, soils and public health.

Students Beyond Grades exists to record this kind of research and development. The project publishes short reports on work that improves health, community, waste reduction, education and sustainability, whether it is carried out inside formal study or alongside it. If you are working on something similar, you can share your work with the project.
