SUMMARY:Plastic in the Water\, Plastic on the Land\, and Plastic in You!
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Megan J. Wolff\, policy director at Beyond Plastics\, will speak about what efforts individuals can make to reduce their personal consumption and exposure to plastics with a focus on the threat of microplastics to your health.\nPlastic pollution is a bad neighbor. Michele Klimczak of the Fishers Island Conservancy\, along with other organizations and volunteers\, works tirelessly to clean up beach litter\, but there is always more washing ashore\, and plenty more being manufactured and discarded every day. Plastic waste is on track to triple by 2060. 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. \nWhat are the impacts of these plastics\, and what can we do to stop them? \nWHEN: Sunday\, August 18\, 2024\nTIME: 4:00 p.m.\nPLACE: At the Museum\, 2nd Floor and virtually via Zoom.\nReception to follow. \nCo-hosted with Fishers Island Conservancy. \nJoin Zoom WebinarOr One tap mobile :\n+16469313860\,\,88674598261#\,\,\,\,*005541# US\n+16465588656\,\,88674598261#\,\,\,\,*005541# US (New York) \nOr Telephone:\nDial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US \nWebinar ID: 886 7459 8261 \nPasscode: 005541 \nInternational numbers available: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kbgy9dIJDT
