Sophia Skarparis is passionate about stopping plastic pollution impacting on marine life. At the age of 14, Sophia collected over 12,000 handwritten signatures to support banning single use and heavy retail plastic bags in NSW and presented the petition to the NSW Premier.

Her efforts to reduce plastic pollution saw her awarded with the title, Australian Geographic Young Conservationist of the Year in 2018, receiving the award from the Duchess of Sussex.

Sophia will share how each person, family and community can positively impact the environment now and for future generations.
