I&#8217;m 17 years old, and I\u2019ve been a Girl Scout for 12 years. I\u2019m homeschooled \u2014 which is something unique that a lot of people don\u2019t know about me. I\u2019m involved in leadership roles in my troop, at my church, and at my work at a bakery in north Hollywood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What inspired you to get involved in the fight to end single-use plastic pollution?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It started last year with my mom when I came home from church teen camp. She was telling me about plastic and how she was getting involved with Instagrammers who were taking on single-use plastic. She got me involved in the movement and the types of changes being made in California \u2014 like straw and bag bans. This inspired me to create change in my community, because plastic pollution is such a big issue. If we don\u2019t do something soon, it could affect our world very negatively. We need to put an end to plastic production first and cut it off at the source.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the help of my mom and friends, I got inspired to make changes of my own and raise awareness about this issue. Awareness is the first step of action to teaching people about alternatives and ways they can move away from plastic.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_73438\" style=\"width: 2058px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73438\" class=\"wp-image-73438 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/8b6a4c8a-img_0136.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-73438\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Sofia Thure<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><b>What was your Gold Award project?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bringing awareness to youth in my community \u2014 children, teens, and adults \u2014 about plastic pollution. I spoke at three different elementary and middle schools and explained how plastic is made, the impacts of plastic pollution, and the ways people could move away from plastic. I also led two cleanups per month from January to May and brought my community together to show how much plastic pollution has made an impact on our community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m bringing awareness to children and my community about how plastic pollution isn\u2019t just elsewhere, like in the oceans and other countries, it\u2019s local too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After we did the cleanups, we did brand audits to see what companies are producing the most branded trash. We found that plastic pollution from companies like Coca-Cola, Nestl\u00e9, and Frito Lay was destroying our local parks. It was a lot of work to do the brand audit, but it&#8217;s super important for encouraging these companies to change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of my award project, I made a video about plastic pollution, how it\u2019s damaging our earth, how it came about, how it\u2019s changed our world and our behavior, and ways we can move away from using so much of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_73439\" style=\"width: 2740px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73439\" class=\"wp-image-73439 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/f98d3384-img_0158-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2730\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-73439\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Sofia Thure<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><b>What are you proudest of from this project?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am proud of how this project has inspired people. My mom inspired me to work on plastic pollution in the first place, and it\u2019s exciting to see how much I learned in the process and that I now get to inspire others to change their behavior as well. Seeing the change in my family is inspiring as well \u2014 we take out our trash less often because how little waste we create. Inspiring children was great too! I loved when they came up to me and shared how they wanted to change personally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Were there any challenges along the way?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rounding up volunteers and promoting my cleanups was hard. Lots of people are busy or just don\u2019t like picking up trash, so getting volunteers to take time to clean up their local neighborhood, park, or street isn&#8217;t easy. But w<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ith the right tools and help from Anna, on organizer at Greenpeace, I learned how to rally and get volunteers involved!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, texting folks personally was the best way to get people involved. You\u2019re asking if they\u2019ll help. It gives them a reason to respond to you. They see how important it is to me, and it lets them know that they actually need to get out there and help take on this issue that\u2019s affecting our community and our world. Posting pictures of our cleanups on Instagram also worked well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figuring out which facts to use in my presentation that would most affect and inspire kids was also a challenge. But with the help of several teachers I was working with, they helped me present in a way that was powerful but made sure kids would understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_73440\" style=\"width: 2058px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73440\" class=\"wp-image-73440 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/0ddc68a1-img_0124.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-73440\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Sofia Thure<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><b>How will you continue fighting plastic pollution once your project ends?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though I did a lot in this project, there are still lots of people who don\u2019t know about why plastic is a problem. So I will definitely continue my cleanups and continue getting more people involved. Though we\u2019ve made a big impact in our local area, I\u2019d love to reach out to other organizations, volunteer groups, and communities. I&#8217;ll continue to give people resources for going plastic-free that are easy and cheap. I&#8217;ll be speaking more and bringing more awareness on the issue of plastic pollution. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Do you have any advice for new activists?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re going to advocate in your community, get kids involved! If you teach youth, they\u2019ll hold on to that teaching for the rest of their lives. It\u2019s easier to change behaviors when folks are young. Even from the age of five, teaching them gets them thinking about how they can change behaviors. They have such big hearts for animals, who are some of the most affected by plastic pollution, and wanting to save them, and changing their behavior around plastics is a great way they can do that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, if you\u2019re planning cleanups, send personal texts as a way to get people involved!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Thanks for all your hard work, Sofia!
