Meet Alex, a quirky Environmental Science major at the University of Waterloo. With a passion for sustainability and a knack for finding humor in everyday challenges, Alex often stirs conversations about the pervasiveness of plastic in our lives. When not exploring the impacts of waste on ecosystems, Alex enjoys experimenting with plant-based recipes and sharing eco-friendly tips on social media. Understandably, they look for the silver lining (or extra fiber) in the plastic problem, blending wit with a serious concern for the planet.
