Students invited by the EPA to tell the ‘Story of Their Stuff’

The Environmental Protection Agency has invited secondary school students to get thinking about the life cycle of everyday objects.

The Story of Your Stuff competition for secondary schools follows last year’s event, with the winning entry scooping €500 for the student, the same amount for the school and a talk from marine scientist and surfer Easkey Britton.

For the competition, the EPA wants students to choose an everyday object, such as a pen, a mobile phone, a banana, or a water bottle, and use a visual medium to illustrate its lifecycle.
