Bag It Berea is pleased to announce a presentation by Dr. Kinga Mnich on August 1^st to discuss EcoBricks and their impact around the world.  There will also be a short workshop on the correct way to fill bottles. Dr. Mnich is one of the founding members of EcoBrick Exchange in South Africa in 2012.  Her drive in founding the EcoBrick exchange comes from her desire to eradicate poverty and pollution.  She believes that EcoBricks can do both.  The EcoBrick Exchange won the U.N. Seed Award in 2015 and has won multiple other awards over the past five years.  Dr. Mnich moved to Lexington to support the work of her husband in 2018.  While in Kentucky, she is fundraising for the Penguins Preschool and building more awareness for a trash free environment.  One of her current projects is a global collaboration to build 100 EcoBrick projects before 2035 that will reach 1,000 people with each project.
