Plastics are like a hidden, daily oil spill – an unending stream of toxic and non-biodegradable litter entering the world and our bodies.  Can recycling plastics solve the problem of plastic litter, and the poisoning of the food web?  Where are we going with ocean cleanup and product stewardship?  What are the plastics of greatest concern?  Join Sanjen Miedzinski, Ph.D. and Beth Terry of Green Sangha to learn about the effects of litter, how recycling falls short, and what businesses and governments can do to stop the plague of plastic pollution.

Speakers: Sanjen Miedzinski and Beth Terry, Green Sangha
