Boy Has Spent Years Donating Thousands of Smoke Detectors to Families in Need
Hector Montoya dreams of being a firefighter when he grows up – but since he's still only 11-years-old, he settles for saving lives through smoke detectors.
When Lucy Gavaghan's letters of protest to the CEOs of Tesco went unanswered, the young teen took to the internet to find success in bigger numbers.
No matter how young you are, you can still make eggsellent achievements like 14-year-old Lucy Gavaghan.
Since the young teen took to Change with a petition demanding major UK supermarket chain Tesco to stop selling eggs from caged hens, 280,238 people signed in agreement.
At present, some 43% of the 1.4 billion eggs sold by Tesco each year come from caged eggs, also known as enriched colonies. Some 57% of eggs sold by Tesco in the UK come from free Range or organic methods.
"Our decision on caged hens is one of a number of Tesco initiatives designed to ensure sustainable sourcing, and improve animal welfare." said Matt Simister, Tesco's Commercial Director for Fresh Food. "We carried out an extensive and collaborative review with our suppliers and key industry experts to help us work through how best we can move to 100% cage-free eggs. This will ensure we give our supplier partners the certainty they require, to make the significant and necessary investments needed for the new farming systems."
