Barnegat Township School District fifth-graders who are part of the Leaders in Training club assembled an art project that raises awareness about reducing plastic waste.

For the past month, the students have been collecting empty water bottles from their respective schools for the project, which allowed them to see how many single-use plastic bottles are used and disposed of every day. Recently, the L.I.T. students gathered at the Joseph T. Donahue Elementary School to assemble the 3D project.
