Eloise Raper

Member

With growing up and living in Hong Kong since I was born, I have seen the extent of plastic pollution in our oceans and on our beaches. I actively participated in beach clean-ups with Plastic Free Seas and Sea Shepherd and raised awareness through the last straw movement. The beaches in Hong Kong were so bad that I could no longer surf or swim in the sea for fear of mistaking a plastic bag for a jellyfish. The beaches were covered with medical waste and hypodermic needles. I have always been passionate about our environment and since moving to New Zealand 2 and a half years ago, I have volunteered my time with Sea Cleaners and did my Y6 PYP exhibition on marine pollution.
