Since watching turtles die at the age of 11, Arlian, 17, and his mother have been showing school classes what waste can do to water. On Saturday, the duo will be at the Traunsee, where divers fish from the depths. And there is plenty of that in the lake in the Salzkammergut, as a past campaign showed.
Arlian is tall, gestures a lot and smiles a lot. And he has a passion: fighting plastic in our waters. The 17-year-old speaks in front of school classes and at international conferences. There he says, for example: ‘We all absorb microplastics from a credit card every week by breathing, drinking and eating.’ Because in the water, the plastic waste is broken down into small particles – which then end up everywhere.
