LEAVENOTRASH

LeaveNoTrash was at first a Zero Waste travel blog, the result of my passion for traveling and Zero Waste... My name is Sitraka (pronounced Sitchaka): I grew up in multicultural Madagascar, then moved to France, Thailand and Indonesia. I live a "close to" Zero Waste life since 2016 after "awakening" to the global plastic pollution plague during one of my travels in 2015... I was at a crossroad in 2017 after finishing a mentorship program with the CEP (Connecting Environmental Professionals) here in Vancouver: volunteering for green organizations and being involved with different zero waste committees helped me confirm my passion for environment, and I was (finally) ready to take the leap and embrace a sustainability career: yes, it was scary at first! I started my environmental professional adventure in 2018 as an intern with IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) in Bangkok.
