MICROPLASTICS: A HIDDEN DANGER
MEET THE BROTHERS BEHIND THE CAUSE
My name is Carrick Gill and I live in Glencoe, Illinois. My hobbies include drawing, video games, muay thai, football, hiking and cross-country running. I enjoy movies and tv shows and I am a freshman at UCLA this Fall. I am excited to learn new things and first learned about the dangers of microplastics when I watched a Good Morning America segment about how microplastics are contaminating our waters and food. Over the years I have enjoyed learning more to pass that information along to neighbors, friends and families because when we know better, we do better!
My name is Connall Gill and I am from Glencoe, Illinois. I love playing water polo, mountain biking, hiking, swimming, video games, and playing the guitar. I grew up visiting my grandparents in California and have a love of nature and our oceans and other bodies of water. I am happiest when I am in the water, outside in the elements, and one with nature. I was originally drawn to the be a founder in this campaign when I learned that microplastics had been found in the most remote bodies of water. We all need to do our part for our planet.
I am a senior at New Trier High School. I believe it is important to stay informed and do what we can to pass along valuable information..
