The young environmentalist is the founder of the non-profit \u2018Pennies for Penguins&#8217; which she started with the purpose of ocean wildlife protection when she was barely five. This year, the author of three books has founded GLCS Youth Leadership Council and has been doing tremendous work for environmental conservation, earning awards and accolades along the way. One significant award that she earned in 2023 is the Everyday Young Hero Award by Youth Service America for her committment to finding her voice, taking an action and creating an impact in her community.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Pennies for Penguins\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anya\u2019s town Boca Raton is famously centred around luxury beach culture. When Anya was just four, she developed an interest in ocean studies and learned about the environmental threats to her favourite animals \u2013 penguins, and started a non-profit to protect them. Her non-profit has successfully spearheaded the &#8216;Cup Revolution&#8217; campaign, which is dedicated to combating plastic straw waste and has effectively engaged young people on a global scale.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anya has been frequently organising community clean-up events in her nearby beaches and neighbourhoods.
