  • Thursday, November 5, 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm – Plastic Pollution Solutions

    Plastic pollution is everywhere – in our oceans, our communities, and even our bodies. But what can we do about it?

    Join Just Zero and Plastic Free Mass on November 5 at 7 pm at the New England Aquarium for a conversation about the impacts of plastic on human health and the environment – and the solutions that can help protect both.

    Moderated by Kirstie Pecci, Executive Director of Just Zero and a leading expert on recycling and waste policy, the panel of experts will explore what we know about the growing impacts of plastics – from our oceans to our bodies – and what individuals, communities, and policymakers can do to create a healthier, less plastic-dependent future.

    Presented in partnership with Just Zero, an environmental nonprofit working to advance community-centered Zero Waste solutions across the country, and Plastic Free Mass, a coalition of more than 40 Massachusetts organizations working to reduce plastic pollution. Register HERE.
