The founders are Carter (now 13) and his sister Olivia (now 11.5), who are both extremely passionate about animals and conservation. Their goal with creating their Plastic and Recycling Awareness Week program is to educate and excite students to get involved with being part of the solution to our ever-growing plastic pollution problem and the need to recycle.
