TED: A young inventor's plan to recycle Styrofoam | Ashton Cofer

The video describes a student's journey in a science project aimed at recycling Styrofoam into activated carbon. It begins with a fire incident during an experiment, leading to the exploration of Styrofoam waste issues. The team hypothesizes using Styrofoam's carbon for water filtration. Despite failures, they succeed, earning recognition and planning further development.
