An Indian student with a farming background finds a green alternative to burning tons of rice husks and straw by using the waste as housebuilding material

When Bisman Deu saw her family burning mounds of rice waste at their farm in southern India, she was convinced the material could be put to better use.

The Delhi student, 16, came up with the idea of recycling the unwanted rice husks and straw into an alternative building material. "I'd go to my family's farm, where my dad grew up, for the holidays, and see them burning piles and piles of it. The harvesting months are the worst and the black smoke gets quite harmful, causing people to have problems breathing, as well as polluting the environment," Deu said.
