Investigate how weather and climate change are impacting our communities and environment.        For us, our desire to make a positive change began when we began studying the UN Global Goals about a year ago. We were being homeschooled by our parents and, being children who have always cared for the environment and the world we live in, they thought it was a fitting topic to work on.  The Global Goals consist of 17 world goals, brought together by the UN, which 193 world leaders have pledged to try and achieve by the year 2030. The goals consist of things like ending poverty, fighting inequality and tackling climate change. But one goal that piqued our interest was number 14: Life Below Water. It was through this that we came across the disastrous impacts that plastic pollution was having on our environment.
