Dundee young people are doing their bit to help the environment.

First Minister Humza Yousaf has promised to crack down on single-use vapes thanks to the work of a young Dundee woman.

That’s because Laura Young, who studies at Abertay in Dundee, was sick of seeing single-use vapes thrown away.

Her campaigning, including speaking in parliament, picking up hundreds of vapes and posting her message on social media, helped to inspire the action.

If Laura can do it, why not you?
