Students Miguel, Michal, and Andy developed an innovative solution to save water by repurposing waste plastic bottles in toilet cisterns. Originating from an educational program, their project addresses both plastic waste and water conservation. They aim to educate communities and demonstrate how this simple idea can make a significant global impact.

Presenting their CAS project at a TEDx event, they hope to inspire audiences to adopt their water-saving recommendations at home. Their goal is to spread this meaningful idea widely, showing how a small change can lead to a big difference. Learn more about TEDx at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
