8 Pia Peterson

27, NSW. FOUNDER, EVOKE CHAUFFEUR SERVICE.

When Pia describes herself as a “driven” person, she means it literally. The founder of Evoke, Australia’s first zero-emissions chauffeur service, Pia is tackling climate change, specifically within the transportation sector. “Since launching Evoke, we’ve avoided the combustion of over 25,000 litres of petrol and 70 tonnes of CO2 emissions,” Pia says. The scholarship would enable her to take Evoke interstate, make it easier for people with disabilities to use and become 100 per cent carbon neutral accredited.
