Lilly is an international environmental champion. Youth Ambassador for Plastic Pollution Coalition, HOW Global, The Ship of Tolerance London 2019 & YouthMundus. Lilly has recently been awarded Young Activist of the Year Award 2019 on International Day of Rights for the Child. Recently Lilly was featured on her first TedX talk.

At just the age of 11, Lilly has achieved more than the average adult and has already established herself as one of the world’s largest environmentalists. This impressive young lady started ‘Lilly’s Plastic Pickup’ at the age of 7. While she was walking with her grandfather one day, she had seen plastic in the streets. After looking up the dangers of plastic, Lilly was sad to find out about the terrible impact that plastic has on animals, she decided it was time to take action herself.

Lilly’s goal is to inform the world, including global politicians and policymakers, about the harmful effects of climate change and plastic pollution. She is one of the top 100 influencers who tackle plastic pollution in the world.
