About the Program
Each day, we throw away about 300 million tons of petroleum-based plastic bottles, bags, utensils, packaging and other so-called disposable items. Ironically, these disposable plastics will persist in the environment and travel throughout the global food web virtually forever.
This summit is designed for teachers who are ready to go in-depth into plastic pollution issues and solutions with their students.
Sessions will focus on content background into the science behind plastics issues, project ideas for the classroom and networking opportunities.
