Plastic in the water, on the land and IN you!: Fighting pollution on Fishers Island and Beyond
by Beyond Plastics policy director Megan J. Wolff, Ph.D. MPH
Hosted by HLFM director Pierce Rafferty
Plastic pollution is a bad neighbor. As plastic breaks up into microplastics it disperses into the environment. Researchers are finding plastic particles almost everywhere they look, including inside the human body. What are the impacts of these plastics, and what can we do to stop them?
In this recorded illustrated talk, presented at the Museum October 8, 2023, Megan J. Wolff, Ph.D. MPH, addresses what we can each do to reduce consumption and exposure to plastics. As to wider political solutions, Dr. Wolff discusses the exciting legislation pending in New York State that dramatically reduces plastic pollution.
