The WNC Sierra Club (WENOCA) will present \u201cSingle Use Plastics and Styrofoam: Why is it a problem and what can we do about it?\u201d Thursday, December 2, at 7 p.m. via Zoom.<\/p>\n

Anna Alsobrook of MountainTrue and Drew Ball, former executive director of Environment NC, will talk about how plastic bags, straws, styrofoam and other single use plastics are polluting our rivers, streams, oceans and clogging our landfills and drainage systems.\u00a0 It is estimated that we are now creating plastics equal to the weight of all the world\u2019s human population every year.<\/p>\n

Alsobrook and Ball will outline what we can do locally to tackle these problems.<\/p>\n
