Miranda Wang and Jeanny Yao, started their work when they were in 12th grade, Year 13 here in the U.K. They are scientists who are looking into the problem of plastic pollution. Truth is, we need to look at the problem of plastic waste scientifically, buying less shampoo bottles really isn't anywhere near enough. Watch this, it's fascinating, I didn't understand all of it, but the main ideas are amazing. Incredible, for two very young people! Good luck Miranda Wang and Jeanny Yao, we are depending on you and your peers!

Hi marcelle, Love your blog! You may be interested in watching this video. These two sisters, Melati and Isabel are my neighbours in Bali and have started a campaign to ban plastic bags in Bali. They have now been in TED talks, INK talks and to the COP21 in Paris to spear head this all over the world. They started this when they were 11 and 12 and are now only 13 & 15! Very proud of them! Their group is called Bye Bye Plastic! Here is a link to one of their talks. Check them out on Favebook
