SUMMARY:Plastic in the water\, on the land and IN you!: Fighting pollution on Fishers Island and Beyond
DESCRIPTION: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? \nMichele Klimczak\, Coastal Debris Coordinator for the Fishers Island Conservancy\, will introduce and summarize the widespread impacts of plastic pollution on the Island\, providing local context for Beyond Plastics policy director Megan J. Wolff\, Ph.D. MPH\, whose illustrated talk will address what we can each do to reduce consumption and exposure to plastics. As to wider political solutions\, Dr. Wolff will discuss the exciting legislation pending in New York State that dramatically reduces plastic pollution. \nTime: Sunday\, October 8\, 2023 @ 4:00 – 5:00 P.M.\nPlace: In-person at the Museum\, 2nd Floor and virtual via Zoom\nA joint Fishers Island Conservancy and HLF Museum Program. \n \n \nEven in the off season\, signing up in advance for people attending in person is recommended.
