During a merging of two\nassignments that concerned water extraction for the bottled water\nindustry and the ingestment of plastics by sea mammals and birds she\ndecided to approach the senior management of the university and make\nformal presentations to phase out and subsequently ban the sale of water\nhoused in Polyethylene terephthalate at the University. She was\nsuccessful making her uni the 1st in Queensland and only the 2nd in\nAustralia to ban the sale of water in P.E .T. This will result in a\nmassive reduction of carbon emissions. The university has installed 3\nProAcqua machines the greatest innovation of water vends that ever have\nbeen invented. In 2014 she travelled to Cambodia with the University and\nwas asked by the Minister of Tourism to advise on plastic pollution\nthere. Her work to communicate the dangers of this issue has been\nenhanced by her steady efforts to connect with other interested people\nincluding, experts in the broad field of plastic pollution. She actively\npicks up plastic pollution and volunteers for the Two Hand Project and\napplauds anyone who picks up plastics. She has for 30 years actively\npracticed Nichiren Buddhism.
