Educating for sustainability: Katie Norman | Sustainable Schools Network

Welcome to the Wavemakers podcast by Plastic Free Gold Coast. 

We’re a community-based organisation that began in 2018 to help educate and empower individuals and businesses to make more sustainable and plastic-free choices.

There are so many inspiring people doing amazing things to protect our planet and we want to shine a light on their stories, both here on the Gold Coast and around the globe.

I’m your host, Ashleigh Stallard, and I’m part of the Plastic Free Gold Coast team and a passionate sustainable living advocate. 

In this series I’ll be chatting to inspiring Gold Coast locals, changemakers, pioneers and people making waves in the name of our planet.
