Myalia cannot neglect her passion for the environment. She was awarded the well-respected Connecticut Sea Grant to support her research about Connecticut restaurants’ use of single-use plastics. Myalia reached out to nearly 100 restaurants along the Connecticut coast and 60 restaurant owners in Hartford, 米德尔顿, 和格拉斯顿伯里. 到目前为止, she’s discovered it’s challenging for them to find non-plastic or non-single use alternatives that are affordable.
