Hi my name is Eve Mango and I am an eighth grader at Pine Richland Middle School.  I am researching the path that floating plastic waste travels in stormwater runoff, rivers, and eventually the ocean.  I will collect this data and also engineer a device to put into small creeks and streams near Pittsburgh to collect floating plastic waste before it enters larger bodies of water.  In March, I will submit my project into the 2017 Pittsburgh Regional Science and Engineering Fair.
