How Lilly Platt has inspired you to help stop climate change and plastic pollution?
Answers
SHE SAID, "It all started in 2015 on a walk with my grandpa and we noticed all the rubbish and plastic littering the footpath, the cycle path and the verge by the road. I had just moved to the Netherlands from London and couldn't speak Dutch so well, so we decided to practise counting in Dutch and I counted 91 pieces in just 10 -15 minutes of walking. I didn't know whether to feel sad or mad. My grandpa told me that any rubbish that falls to the ground will somehow make its way to the ocean - it could take a day, a week, a month or even a whole year but it will make its way to the sea and into the plastic soup. Plastic gives animals the illusion it is food and so they eat it and this can have disastrous consequences. I decided from that moment I would pick up every bit of plastic I see to help protect wildlife. This is how Lilly's Plastic Pickup was born. So far I have picked up over 100,000 pieces of plastic and am Youth ambassador for many projects: Plastic Pollution Coalition, Youthmundus and WODI."
