Filipino descendant, Rio is an 18 years-old college student working towards her master’s degree in psychology. For her advocacy she shared, “I would like to encourage further education on the different types of pollution. This is because I believe that education can lead to ideas, which can lead to teamwork, and then the idea becoming reality. I want to encourage teamwork within my community as well as people all over the world to overcome the different types of pollution that are affecting our environment today. Through this, I would also like to emphasize the importance of healthy habits that can slowly but surely lead to positive change not only within oneself, but with the world as a whole.”
