On The Spark, we highlighted the work of local environmental advocates being recognized through the Move Past Plastic<\/a> Awards, which celebrate individuals making a difference by reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainability in South Central Pennsylvania. The awards recognize community members whose creativity, leadership, and dedication are helping inspire lasting environmental change.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s honorees include Scott Bucher, recognized for leading reuse initiatives and working with educators, businesses, organizations, and local leaders to expand environmental outreach; Danel Berman, honored for using her artistic talents to support advocacy campaigns, educational materials, and public awareness efforts; and Julia Schulz, who helped reduce single-use plastics in her church, workplace, and community while creating an eye-catching garment that raises awareness about the environmental impact of fast fashion. To hear more about the Move Past Plastic Awards and the local efforts making a difference, listen to The Spark podcast.<\/p>\n
