Happy World Environment Day! To celebrate this year’s theme #beatplasticpollution we have a special message from Melati Wijsen, AIA’s Environmental Ambassador and founder of ByeByePlastic Bags and Youthtopia. At the age of 12, Melati started a mission with her sister to remove all plastic bags from her hometown of Bali, Indonesia. Check out her simple tips for us all to use a little less plastic in our daily lives and as Melati puts it: “Don’t wait another day to take action!”. So become a CHANGEMAKER and please share how you will help beat plastic pollution so we can all live healthier, longer, better lives.
