Pictured above: Lilah McDonald.
In this special bonus episode, we turn the tables on Sustainably Ever After host Lilah McDonald, and hear her story as a young entrepreneur, changemaker, and advocate for a more sustainable Aotearoa.
At just 10 years old, Lilah founded Water Us, a purpose-led toilet paper company funding public drinking fountains across New Zealand. Now a teen, sheโs already installed her first two fountains and is working toward a bold goal: 100 fountains nationwide. Lilah shares how a single moment during a childhood trip sparked her mission to reduce plastic waste and promote health in our communities.
