Natalie Vendemini on Clubhouse

Bio

My name is Luca and I’m 8 years old . My mom Natalie, created this account for me on Clubhouse . This way I can follow my mentor Bodhi @oceanuprise 🌊🦈🐠🐡

I realized pollution was a problem, when I was 3 1/2 years old after reading a book about Manatees . Since then I’ve been trying to spread the word about avoiding single use plastic. I love all animals and especially Manatees 💙 that are threatened by water pollution.
When I lived in Brooklyn, NY ( Lenape land ) I used to pick up single-use plastic off the side walks on my way back from school . 🚯♻️
I did a science project with the data I collected from my daily sidewalks cleanups and the times I did beach cleanups .
I presented it to my Kindergarten class and after that my friends started being mindful about plastic bottles and snack wrappers . We even made a game of picking up trash from the school yard . 🌱

💚🌍 I marched with Parley.tv founder @cyrillgutsch during the Climate March in NYC in 2019.

Last year I moved to Boca Raton, FL ( Seminole land ) and I joined the Ocean Uprise movement 🌊 ✨ this year and decided to do a fundraiser and spread the word for Parley.tv. I sold friendship bracelets I made ( and Parley Ocean plastic reusable bags / t-shirts / re-useable water bottles )
at a local farmer’s market in March and April 💙

🎥 The movie that changed everything for me when I was 5 1/2 years old was
