Log In on November 6 and Fight Plastic


Got a computer? How about some friends? If both of the above apply, get a group together and check out the Plastic Pollution Coalition’s TedxGreatPacificGarbagePatch event! This event is a video conference streamed live over the Interne. It will bring together leaders of all walks of life. They will teach you how to refuse disposable plastic that ends up in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, so often.

Speakers include: Dr. Sylvia Early, Van Jones, David de Rothschild, and Ed Begley Jr.

Getting involved is easy! Just screen the event starting at 11 AM CST from any laptop or computer with Internet connection and educate yourself about plastic consumption. OR join a pre-formed watch party in your area.

After the conference, tune in here or on other political blogs and discuss how you think the issue should be addressed. Should the focus be on individual responsibility, or should we focus instead on over-arching social reforms?
