Green Drinks - The Waste In Your Waste: A Closer Look At Microplastic Pollution
Event description
The future health of our ecosystems is shaped by the choices we make today—from what we throw away to how we restore what’s been lost.
This month’s Green Drinks dives into a highly important environmental challenge: the impact of microplastics on our ecosystems.
🧪 Dr Helena Ruffell, environmental scientist and microplastics researcher, will share insights into how tiny plastic particles make their way into our environment via compost, wastewater, and biosolids—and what we can do to reduce their impact.
