Description

The future of our planet depends on our actions, and these young girls are sending a strong message to us all. 

With the world focusing more on sustainability and protecting our planet, I decided to take a different turn with this episode. I spoke with Violette, Sacha and Mia, three eco-conscious Grade 8 students at the Swiss International Scientific School Dubai who have secured a place at the ‘Junk Kouture’ World Finals in London after designing and making a sustainable dress from used sweet wrappers and plastic food packaging waste. They were guided by their art and design teacher, Teresa Pollard. 

Listen to the inspiring story to hear why these ambitious young ladies decided to take matters into their own hands.
