West Marin Climate Action: On the Way to Plastic Free!

Date: 
Thursday, December 3, 2020 - 4:00pm to 5:15pm
Event Description: 

One important contributor to climate change and other environmental harm is our consumption habits. This event event is the first in a series that will look at plastic proliferation. First, West Marin Climate Action will offer a virtual screening of two important films about the expanding plastic industry, the crisis of plastic pollution, and the effect it has on the health of people and the planet. You'll be invited to watch at your leisure "The Story of Plastic", and "Plastic Wars", between November 28 and December 3. Links to films will be provided upon registration. Then, participants will gather safely, in a virtual Zoom format, to discuss how to disrupt the consumption of plastic, locally and globally. Come and hear from local experts: Garen Kazanjian of Recology Sonoma Marin, Waste Zero Specialist; Eva Holman of Upstream Solutions, Policy Coordinator; Martin Bourque of Ecology Center, Executive Director (Martin Bourque was featured in "The Story of Plastic".) Presentations will be followed by time for Q&A. The event will end with a Call to Action discussion and shared resource links. FREE. See web event link for registration information.
