Elif Bilgin, 16, recently won the Scientific American Science in Action Award at the 2013 Google Science Fair. Why? She discovered an innovative way of reducing pollution in her home city of Istanbul. Elif is able to produce an eco-friendly bio-plastic produced from a very common fruit: the banana. It’s impressive that an everyday fruit could be this useful to our world. It begs us to think about all the other potential possibilities that are currently still unknown to us.
