Hidden Plastics & Imperfect Activism

“Plastic is a global issue. It's been found practically everywhere, from the bottom of the siege, top of Mount Everest, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and human blood.”

In this episode Ava, aged 18, interviews Zara, aged 15, about her ocean health campaigning and what it was like being one of few young people invited to the Global Plastics Treaty. Zara co-founded Hidden Plastic with her younger brother in 2020 and they’ve been using social media and films to raise awareness since. And she’s a seaweed ambassador!

Please take care when listening as you might feel affected by some of the climate issues discussed.
