The Drop: Young Hero Spreads Awareness of Microplastics Pollution
E28 (April 6, 2020): Meet Anna Du, an extraordinary eighth grader from Andover, Mass., who has made it her mission to educate people about the dangers of microplastics. Anna not only built an underwater ROV that detects microplastics, she has been recognized with the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes, gotten the attention of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, and written a children's book -- all before her 14th birthday.
