Collaborative for Plastics and the Environment
Let's dive deep into the world of plastic pollution! Immerse yourself in hands-on activities as you peer into vials, discover the variety of plastic particles and unravel the secrets behind different polymers that we interact with in our everyday lives. What's the potential harm of plastic pollution for our environment and ourselves? Do you know what can (and what cannot) be recycled in Monroe County? Explore the cutting-edge technologies deployed to prevent plastic pollution from reaching the water, and learn about our efforts in local cleanups. Find the microplastics on our beaches while learning what you can do to limit your exposure. This exhibit is an interactive journey empowering you to understand, act, and contribute to a plastic-free future.
