A Girl Scout troop in Anchorage won a school board ban on plastic glitter, pushing for eco-friendly alternatives.
Girl Scout Troop 436 in Anchorage successfully lobbied the school board to ban plastic glitter in schools, citing environmental harm from microplastics.
Led by 14-year-old Sylvie Wailand, the initiative, part of a Silver Award project, promoted biodegradable glitter and educated students on pollution.
The resolution passed unanimously, prompting plans for a formal regulation.
Supported by environmental experts and secured grants, the effort gained teacher approval and inspired a student-made art sculpture using existing plastic glitter.
The ban marks a youth-driven step toward sustainability in Alaska’s schools.
