Nine year-old Molly saw the damage that disposable plastics do to the ocean, and knew she had to do something. So, with ambition, she set about convincing schools to remove single use plastic straws from their tuck shops and launched the Straw no More campaign which is gaining momentum. How can we stop plastic straw and plastic in general to harm our wildlife, and start to care more about our planet? The answer is very simple.

Molly Steer is nine years old and is in 4th grade at school in Cairns. When she isn't trying to remove plastics from the ocean, she enjoys dancing, swimming and spending time with her family.
