Mounting evidence indicates that plastics pose hidden risks to human health. Plastic can now be found everywhere- in the ocean, air, animals, fish and every part of the human body. Public health experts are connecting endocrine disorders, cancer, child development and fertility issues to plastics in our bodies. Yet plastic production is growing exponentially, with single use plastics the fastest growing segment of production.There are solutions! Learn what Brookline is doing and what we as individuals can do to improve our environmental and human health and work towards capping production of plastics.The program begins with an interactive poster session offering opportunities to talk with experts and activists. Light refreshments will be served. This will be followed by a talk by Dr. Philip Landrigan, a pediatrician, epidemiologist and the Director of Global Public Health and the Common Good at Boston College. A panel will then explore community approaches to solutions with Sasha Palmer, Director of Food Services in the Brookline Public Schools; Miriam Gordon, a leader in the reuse movement and architect of innovative policy models; and Katie Weatherseed, Brookline’s Zero Waste Program Manager. Louise Bowditch of Brookline Mothers Out Front will moderate. There will be time for discussion and questions.The program is sponsored by The Brookline Department of Public Works, Brookline Mothers Out Front, the Brookline Department of Public Health and Human Services, the Friends of Brookline Public Health, Brookline Rotary Club, Climate Action Brookline, Elders Climate Action and Brookline Public Library.
