Plastic—especially single-use—has become a huge problem, clogging our oceans and, with incineration, raining down on us from above. Join us for our virtual presentation with the Greenworks Plastic Reduction Task Force to understand the local and global problems and what you can do.
Our presenters include Alison Ormsby, Lecturer in Environmental Studies & Interim Co-Director of Sustainability at UNCA; Mickey Snowdon, Communications Liaison at The Collider; Finn Digman, AmeriCorps Waste Reduction Education Coordinator at GreenWorks; and Krista Stearns, businesswoman helping to lead the GreenWorks Plastic Reduction Task Force.
