Life Without Plastic - Fantastic!

Learn about plastic pollution reduction and how to create change.

Guest Speaker: Natasha Tucker, Mind Your Plastic
May 21, 6:30 pm
Tuesday Night Talk, free

Plastic is one of the most controversial materials of our time. Because of how cheap, lightweight and durable it is, it’s become ingrained in our everyday life. As a result, it is often discarded and wreaks havoc on the environment, wildlife and human health. Join us for an evening with Natasha Tucker, Executive Director of Mind Your Plastic to debunk plastic related myths, learn more about true alternatives and what you can do to create positive change.
