Join us for "Plastics in the Environment and Human Health," a webinar exploring the pervasive impact of plastics in today's world. From the omnipresence of microplastics in our water and food chain to their profound influence on geological classifications in the Anthropocene, this session dives into the urgent need to reassess our relationship with synthetic materials. Experts will discuss the disruptive effects of plastics on sedimentary environments, soil composition, and pollution dynamics, highlighting the critical role of geoscientists in addressing these environmental challenges. Additionally, we will explore pathways towards a just transition to a circular economy for plastics, emphasizing the importance of sustainable product design and policy interventions. Join us to learn how you can contribute to mitigating the impacts of plastic pollution and promoting environmental justice through scientific innovation and advocacy.
