Title: Source reduction is the solution to plastic pollution

Speaker: Maggie Ostdahl (Conservation Operations Manager, National Aquarium)

Abstract: Plastic pollution is negatively impacting human health and is often a fatal hazard for wildlife. Globally, waste management systems cannot keep pace with plastic production, thus the focus on solutions must emphasize source reduction. Maggie Ostdahl will discuss the National Aquarium’s efforts to reduce plastic throughout business operations as we continue to educate our audiences about the issue of plastic pollution."
