EPA Awards Sustainability Grants to 58 Student Teams
The EPA today awarded more than $500,000 in grants to college students from across the United States, as part of the People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) program.
One of the programs will feature a “closed energy loop” designed by students at Keene State College in New Hampshire. It will take biodiesel fuel made from used grease to power local public fleets.
A team at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will attempt to develop technology to test for bacteria and viruses in drinking water in the Dominican Republic, Cambodia, and South Africa.
To see all the winners and their projects, visit the EPA’s P3 site.
