Turning the Tide on Plastic Pollution
Jenna Jambeck
Associate professor, and director at the University of Georgia
Plastic debris and its impacts on the environment have been widely documented. By linking worldwide data on solid waste, population density, and economic status, Dr. Jambeck made an initial estimate of plastic entering the ocean annually. Shifting to where the burden of plastics is carried, Jambeck and her team created the Circularity Assessment Protocol (CAP). CAP has been collaboratively used in 56 cities in 16 countries assessing circularity at the community level. Reserve your spot.
