I’m a high school student who is curious about the world around me and passionate about making a difference. My interest in environmental science and plastic pollution led me to start asking questions about the waste we create - and what happens to it after we throw it away. That curiosity inspired Beyond the Bin, my effort to bring TerraCycle to my school and educate younger students about plastic, recycling, and the impact of our everyday choices.

Through Beyond the Bin, I’m learning that meaningful change can start with something as simple as asking a question - and taking action.
