  • Plastic pollution is a global crisis affecting the health of the planet and all life on Earth from plankton to humans. Like climate change, plastic pollution is a result of a dedicated effort by the fossil fuel and petrochemical industries to exploit a natural resource to unnatural consequences. This webinar will explore the health implications of plastics and options for effective change.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Describe the environmental and health impacts of plastic within the context of climate change, with a specific focus will be on single-use plastic.
    2. Review the health implications of plastic throughout the lifecycle starting with extraction to production, use, and disposal.
