“I think of all the talks, Dr. Susan Shaw's on child waste pickers hit me the hardest. It hit me so hard in the heart. I can't even tell you, I had a lump in my throat. It was yet again, that reminder straight in your face of why I do what I do. I'm really grateful to her for that.” - Sian Sutherland, Co-Founder of A Plastic Planet
