Fifteen-year-old Anna Brozek is teaching business leaders about sustainability. Starfish Canada named this Fall River, Nova Scotia student one of 2023’s Top 25 Environmentalists under 25 for her Planet in Mind website helping businesses and individuals reduce climate pollution, and for designing and co-hosting “Tech for Tomorrow,” a January 2024 evening of talks and networking opportunities bringing leading-edge thinkers together.
