Republicans and Democrats were swamped by mermaids last week at the Georgia State Capitol for a singular cause: to bring awareness about plastic pollution and its impact on the environment. The mermaids were friends of 14-year-old environmental activist Hannah Testa, who is making a difference in the world around her by doing what she loves. An eighth-grader at Vickery Creek Middle School in Cumming, Testa partnered with State Sen. Michael Williams to host Plastic Pollution Awareness Day on Feb. 15.
