NewzCaymus Maxson, a 16-year-old environmental activist, has spearheaded a youth-led initiative known as Trash Turtles. Over the past six years, the organization has conducted 50 beach cleanups, resulting in the removal of six tons of debris and the cleaning of more than 300 miles of coastline. Additionally, the group has successfully recycled 75,000 cigarette butts.
Maxson’s efforts began at age 10 after observing beach maintenance practices that pushed trash into the ocean. Now based in California, her work has gained recognition for its impact on coastal conservation and waste management.
