Lily is part of One Ocean Planet’s Hero Kids program, a youth-led initiative that empowers children to design and lead meaningful ocean protection campaigns.

In just three months, Lily raised over €12,000 to support research and awareness against octopus farming, an emerging and unsustainable practice in Europe. Her campaign culminated in a courageous 2-kilometer open-water swim, symbolizing her belief that protecting the ocean takes more than concern; it takes action.

Now serving as Youth Ambassador for One Ocean Planet, Lily helps bring ocean literacy and sustainability into classrooms and communities.

This episode is sponsored by VoLo Foundation, a private family foundation committed to climate solutions through education and leadership.

Her story is proof that protecting our planet starts with a question: What can I do? And sometimes, the youngest voices make the biggest waves.
