After learning about the pressing threats of climate change and pollution in the world during her eighth grade Earth Science class, Cedar Falls student Maya Mallavarapu became inspired to create change and contribute to society with efforts to fight against environmental pollution.
After a year of great success, Holmes Helps saved about 100 pounds of plastic and about 3000 lbs. of food waste from entering the landfill by educating students on how to sort items left on their lunch trays.
