On today’s episode, I’m joined by CWSF 2017 & 2018 alumni, Stella Bowles who was recently awarded the Order of Nova Scotia for her commitment to cleaning up the LaHave River. Her 2017 science fair project garnered quite some attention on social media, influencing three levels of government and prompting a $15.7m action plan to clean up her local river. She’s been awarded numerous conservation & environmental awards for her work, been recognized as an emerging environmental leader, and even travelled to Ecuador as a member of the Canadian Youth Ambassador program. Having spoken at multiple TedX events, moderated various virtual webinars and even written a book called My River: Cleaning up the LaHave River with author Anne Laurel Carter, needless to say, I’m very excited for today’s conversation.
Please show your support for Stella as we welcome her to the Why to How Podcast, where we explore adventures in STEM.
