Sustainability & Environmental Concerns - Plastic pollution is a global concern, especially regarding single-use plastics that significantly harm the environment [2] - Only 9% of plastic waste is actually recycled after losses, indicating a far from circular plastics life cycle [3] - Without additional action, annual plastics production, use, and waste generation are projected to increase by 70% in 2040 compared to 2020 [3] - Biodegradable materials like PLA, made from sugar cane or corn starch, break down into carbon dioxide and water in about 60 days under specific conditions [4] Research & Development - A project investigated incorporating cyclodextrin (ring-shaped molecules made of glucose) into PLA to create a new kind of sustainable plastic with improved mechanical properties and biodegradability [7] - The resulting plastic film sample felt rough, lacked transparency, and did not significantly enhance overall performance, making it unsuitable for real-life applications [10][11] Mindset & Approach - Imperfection allows things to grow into something that couldn't have been planned, suggesting a shift in focus from perfect solutions to meaningful contributions [16] - Real change doesn't always start with perfection; sometimes it starts with a sweet attempt that mixes science with honesty, failure with creativity, and even poetry with plastic [23] - Sustainability doesn't require perfection; it just requires a start [22] Impact & Engagement - An exhibition combining poetry and plastic aimed to demonstrate plastic's role within society and the environment, transforming it from discarded rubbish to a carrier of emotion [17] - The exhibition generated audience engagement, with many people expressing a desire to contribute to transforming current consumption patterns of plastic-made materials [21]

In his TEDxYouth@DAA talk, Lucas will discuss why it is important to protect our oceans. By talking about his personal experiences as a diver, he will explore how humans disrupt and kill many marine species with the use of a deadly material, plastic. Lucas also shares the dark truth of what happens to our oceans if we continue down this path. He asks why we need to protect our oceans? Why must we all care about this vital, life-sustaining part of our planet? His message is clear; our oceans need us now more ...
