I started a social media awareness campaign on the effects of female education on climate change. I shared information and resources on this topic and was amazed to reach an enthusiastic audience. Multiple people shared their thoughts on the topic and said that they were grateful for the opportunity to learn about something they had never heard before. This was a great experience and I was able to both learn and teach.

Concrete also damages the topsoil layer of the earth and contributes to problems like runoff, soil erosion, water pollution, and flooding. There are however new options for building in concrete such as Green concrete, ashcrete, micro silica concrete, and even coral cement!
