    Toward the southern end of Norzin Lam, Thimphu's clocktower is one of the city center's best-known landmarks. The slender, geometric structure decorated with curling dragons and golden flowers stands in a paved square among fountains and mani lhakhor (prayer wheels), the clock itself protected by a wide wooden roof. Shops, restaurants, and hotels surround the square, which hosts many local events like live concerts, awards ceremonies, and even the Indo-Bhutan car rally.

As any clever innovator would, Pema set out to identify what readily available resource she could utilize for her invention. She began “harvesting” plastic with her mother and other family members.
