Stemming the Tide on Plastics: Can Washington Lead the Way?

Our February Sustainability Series is focused on plastics. Our second presentation of this month will be Stemming the Tide on Plastics: Can Washington Lead the Way?

February 24^th, 5 pm Session Description:
We have both a plastics crisis and a recycling crisis, resulting in significant impacts on wildlife, in our communities, and the ocean.
In Washington, we are addressing these problems through voluntary actions and policy changes at the local and the state level.  Join us to learn more about all of the current activities around these important issues, including a legislative update from Zero Waste Washington!
