Rosmini College - Microplastics Project

The TOTCUS Microplastics Group is made up of students from Rosmini College, Takapuna, Auckland, New Zealand, and Liceo Juan Bautista Contardi, Punta Arenas, Magllanes, Chile.

The Contardi students have been focused on the volume of plastics found on the shoreshine and are now seeking solutions to this issue, aware that the plastic items found in that environment eventually break down into smaller particles..  The Rosmini students are focused on micro/nano plastics that are found in rain water. 

Watch this space in regard to how the group builds their KNOWLEDGE on this issue and how their ACTION evolves.
