“I was drawn to Solutions for the Planet because it creates such a powerful connection between young people and businesses, giving us a real opportunity to be heard and make a difference. I’ve always believed that young people should have a voice in shaping the future.
Sustainability is something I genuinely care about, and although I’ve tried to make a difference in small, everyday ways, I’ve always wanted to be part of something bigger. Joining the Youth Insights Panel is an exciting step for me. I’m looking forward to learning, growing, and working to help create positive, lasting change for the planet.”
