What We Do
Join us in transforming plastic waste into educational tools. We collect plastic bottles, repurpose them into plant pots with elementary schoolers, and then educate the students on plastic pollution.
Engage Students
Sustainability Education
Our workshops at elementary schools inspire students to learn about plastic pollution and create their own repurposed plant pots. They get to decorate their own pots and take home a piece of the lesson. This experience reminds students of the impact they can have on our environment.
Teaching the next generation the importance of sustainability and recycling through hands-on activities. In our workshops we hope to, not only engage students, but to educate them on other ways to help our planet. Together, we make a difference for our planet's future.
By involving schools and students in our Plastic2plants program, we raise awareness about plastic waste and empower communities to take action for a greener world. We hope to connect people of all ages and bring communities together for a shared goal and inspiration.
About The Founder
Shane O'Sullivan is a Junior at Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences who is interested in environmental activism. After gaining her first PADI open water certification in 2022, she has been interested in marine biology and environmental conservation efforts. Since then, she gained seven more PADI certifications, including her coral reef conservation speciality, which showed her the true devastating effects of climate change on our oceans. After spending time working as a camp counselor at United in Harmony, Shane realized what an impact young children are able to have on our environment. It quickly became a passion of hers to educate and get kids excited about environmental activism. Currently, Shane is working on independent research investigating heavy metal traces in beach sands throughout the Santa Monica Watershed and growing her nonprofit organization. Shane hopes that Plastic2plants will contribute to climate conservation, educate her community, and leave a positive impact on young kids.
