Pia Ocampo works to preserve the oceans around the Philippines, which are home to the most diverse array of aquatic species on Earth. Illegal dumping of plastics has posed a growing threat to coral reefs and marine life. Pia works with local communities providing incentives for gathering plastic waste. The garbage is recycled into chairs and building materials for schools. Pia aims to inform more of society about the importance of saving the beautiful waters of the Philippines.
