SUMMARY:Plastics Seminar: Dr. Rolsky at University of Maine
DESCRIPTION:Join plastic pollution expert Dr. Charlie Rolsky at the University of Maine as he talks about how we’ve changed our relationship status with plastic to\, “it’s complicated”. In this discussion\, he’ll demystify the truths and myths surrounding our use of this pervasive material\, from the hidden dangers of microplastic pollution and its presence in the human body\, to the misleading marketing practices of greenwashing. Dr. Rolsky will also highlight the latest research from the Shaw Institute on the impact of plastics on human health\, PFAS contamination\, and innovative coastal monitoring efforts. This talk will explore the complex reality of plastic pollution and offer insights into a more sustainable future.
