About SEP 1990 Z2

Plastics intersect with every area of environmental issues today. Plastics are related to fossil fuel use and energy systems, climate change, consumption and capitalism, human and landscape health, environmental justice, biodiversity, and how individuals are situated within larger social/political/economic systems. But, to solve complex environmental problems, activism, hope, and joy must be centered. After obtaining scientific knowledge about the history and impacts of plastics, students will learn about solutions to the plastic crisis being created by leaders of the global environmental justice movement. The final project of class will involve students developing their own chosen solution for a specific plastics concern.
