Our CVP will explore the journey of microplastics from human usage into the ocean and the profound impacts they have on marine ecosystems. We will draw from interactive discussions, visual presentations, documentaries, and successful case studies to examine how microplastics enter waterways. This will focus on consumer products and waste mismanagement, the environmental damage microplastics cause to marine life, how these effects ripple into human health, and what tools exist for us to address this issue from land. In our CVP, we will uncover ways that Exonians can make meaningful change to stop the cycle of microplastic waste becoming sea-bound and gain new perspectives about the large-scale issue of this specific form of pollution in the ocean.
