21.01.2022 Introducing our next Young and Unstoppable speaker, Candace, from The Little Litter Project The Little Litter Project began after Candace noticed an increase in litter across parks and roadsides. After calling the local council and Vicroads to request the removal of this litter, she was handballed back and forth and no action took place. That was the moment she decided to start up her own initiative to raise awareness on the topic of pollution and waste management, aiming... to decrease the amount of litter we see in our public places Candace is super passionate about the environment , eco-systems, and the protection of them, and we can't wait for her to share her wisdom and passions with us next Friday!
