Climate activist, public speaker, zero waste advocate and environmental scientist.
Hello! My name is Laura Young, aka Less Waste Laura. Welcome to my little corner of the internet. Journey with me as I try to live an environmentally conscious lifestyle and advocate for environmental education and climate justice!

Great to be on BBC Radio Scotland this week talking all things bins and waste. Joining Stephen Jardine (BBC Radio Scotland presenter @StephenJardine) with Margaret Bates (Professor at the University of Northampton @WasteReader) to discuss what it means for residents who are experiencing bins collections reducing. 
A little bit more about me; I have completed a bachelors of science degree in Geography and Environmental Science from the University of Dundee, and a Masters in Environmental Protection and Management at the University of Edinburgh.

I currently work for the international development charity, Tearfund, as their Scotland COP26 Advocacy and Campaigns Coordinator, and run the social media channel for Bin Twinning, a new sustainability platform to help support recycling and waste projects around the world.
