Madhvi Chittoor, also known as the #NoStyrofoamNinja, has served as a climate warrior in ending plastic pollution since she was just 5 years old. She has founded the global EcoEthics movement as well as her own nonprofit called Madhvi4EcoEthics. Not only that, she is also an author, a Blackbelt in Taekwando, and a Guinness World Record music composer.
Chittoor started making waves in the climate movement at an early age. In 2019, when Chittoor was just 7 years old, she worked to have her school district, Jeffco Public Schools, switch from using wasteful and carcinogenic styrofoam lunch trays to compostable ones. This change led to the elimination of 7.6 million styrofoam containers from going to landfills each year and protected students from harmful materials in the former lunch trays. Chitoor worked towards this for 1.5 years, campaigning and sending countless letters to her school district.
