Local Girl Scout Aims To Make Waves Against Plastic Pollution
Ava Boehmer, a member of local Girl Scout Troop 889, is working toward her Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. After spending time living in Hawaii, Boehmer felt compelled to educate her community about plastic pollution and its harmful impact on marine life.
To further her mission, Boehmer has launched her own website, https://avags23project.my.canva.site/, which serves as a valuable resource for ongoing education and information.
Community support is crucial for Boehmer’s project to thrive. Residents are encouraged to follow her journey on Facebook to stay updated on her initiatives and learn how they can contribute to her mission. Follow Boehmer on Facebook at www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563488375819.
