School Daze: 'I am passionate about marine life' says Flossie Donnelly

Flossie Donnelly, 13, has become well known for her campaign to clean Dublin's beaches of plastic waste. She speaks to Eve Kelliher

Flossie Donnelly organises regular beach clean-ups in Dún Laoghaire.

I AM 13 and I live in Sandycove outside Dublin. I am passionate about marine life and do all I can to protect it from plastic pollution. 

I beach clean all the time and climate strike for our planet weekly. I started caring about our planet when I was eight and I started noticing the amount of horrible plastic and rubbish in the oceans and seas.
