tHE Problem
People are washing their pans not realizing that grease is going down the drain. Even a teaspoon of grease can effect your pipes. When this happens it can cause backups and flood your house.
Existing solutions
OUR SOLUTION
we have created a solution called “Eazy Grease Wipes.” Our Eazy Grease Wipes come in a 2 in 1 container which was designed by our team with the help of Mr. Michael Wilt, a civil engineer from Siemens. You use it by pulling out the small container which holds biodegradable wipes, then you pour your cooled grease into the larger container that is lined with a biodegradable bag. Then wipe the excess grease from the pan using our wipes then toss the wipe into the larger container with the grease. When your container is full, you take out the biodegradable bag, and you can either compost it, or leave it by your garbage or recycling bin. Finally, when you run out of wipes, you can make new wipes and just repeat the process!
THE EXPERTS
Rob Denis, a water RESOURCE engineer, who told that we should look into grease bags to hold the grease.
Phillis testa, a DINING sERVICE mANAGER WITH OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE , she said she would LOve to use our wipes due to the amount of grease produced in the cafeteria.
mR wILT, a SIEMENS cIVIL ENGINEER who taught us about hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances.

FLL Core Values
The Core Values are the heart of FIRST LEGO League. They describe a way of working together and respecting each other.
Coopertition® combines the concepts of cooperation and competition. Coopertition is founded on the philosophy that teams can (and should!) cooperate with each other even as they compete. Once you have mastered a skill, you teach it to someone else so that everyone can do better next time. You still do your best to win, just not at the other team’s expense.
