Her Montreal-based NGO, currently celebrating its fifth anniversary, has been devoted to conducting research and raising awareness about plastic pollution in the eastern provinces of Canada. The NGO's data on plastic litter proved influential and was used by the Canadian government to draft regulations on single-use plastic. Assellin also speaks on her vision for the future, expressing hope in the increasing stewardship efforts by the younger generation and momentum in political action.
