Project title: Ban the Bag
Naila tacked the harmful effects of single use plastic on the environment. Through the Bags to Benches program, she was able to partake in a plastic bag recycling challenge to earn a bench made from recycled materials. She collected over 1000 pounds of plastic film and secured two benches for the community! She also advocated for the single-use plastic bag ban at both Chatham Borough and Township council meetings.
