Meet the 9-year-old who created a club to inspire kids…
Rocco Da Silva, a 9-year-old with a plan of action, recently won the Waste Reduction Youth Warrior Award at the annual PETCO awards for his efforts in inspiring his fellow youths.
Rocco started a club to create awareness and get the youth in his area to commit to participating in monthly beach and community clean-ups. Over the last 14 months, members have collected more than 950kg of rubbish off a local 400m stretch of beach.
He called it ‘The Future Kids Club’. The club has been running for just over a year now and has had great success. Thanks to collaboration from several businesses, the youths have had all the resources needed to make a big difference.
