Initially, the project focused on making plates, but we adapted
our approach to focus on creating plant pots instead. This shift
required experimenting with different ratios of compost to
flour, teaching me the importance of flexibility and problem-
solving in sustainability work.

Through this experience, I learned how fruit waste can be
repurposed to reduce carbon emissions. This realization has
not only increased my awareness of sustainability but also
motivated me to make more environmentally conscious
decisions in my daily life and future endeavors.
