My mission is to educate about plastic, advocating for reducing, reusing, and rethinking rather than solely relying on recycling. I aim to inspire others to understand plastic's impact and make a difference.

Guided by the Jewish concept of "Tikkun Olam" (repairing the world), my passion for addressing plastic pollution stems from an elementary school experience observing ecosystem damage. This firsthand realization of my own impact fuels my drive to educate and inspire collective action.
