Welcome to the FelsTED Talks podcast series where we'll be talking to various members of our community. We're looking forward to finding out what have been the biggest impacts in their character development and how each has made a difference to the world around them. In this episode Chris Townsend talks to Sophie Dorothe Lieke, former Felstedian and Environmentalist. After studying the IB  Diploma as an international boarder from Tanzania,  Sophie gained a 1st class degree in Biology and Geography at St. Andrew's University. She then secured a scholarship to undertake a nine-month research project, showcasing action against plastic pollution, called Plastic Unwrapped. Travelling across 6 continents  she  shared the impact of plastic on our planet, and showcased those who are striving to create solutions to plastic pollution.  Due to the pandemic this project is unfortunately on hold but she is currently studying for Masters in Environmental Management at Lancaster University  and is working on a dissertation  around Pro-Environmental behavior and how it is being managed in the hospitality sector. She plans to further her studies  with a PHD in Sustainable Food Systems in Germany from September and aims to continue with 'Plastic Unwrapped' alongside as they complement each other really well.
