Phi Phi islands sparkle in travel photos. Blue seas, soft beaches, postcard views. Yet for Sarah Sajedi, that beauty came with a shock.

“I was standing there looking out at this gorgeous view of the Andaman Sea, and then I looked down and beneath my feet were all these pieces of plastic, most of them water bottles,” she said.

“I’ve always had a passion for waste reduction, but I realized that this was a problem with consumption.”
