If you are concerned about plastic and its harmful effects on human health and the environment, please come to “Practical Ways to Limit Plastic from Your Everyday Life” on Saturday, April 18 at 1:30 PM at the Sawyer Free Library in Gloucester. The event is sponsored by the Cape Ann Climate Coalition with support from the Grass Roots Funds.
Andrea Lacroix from Beyond Plastic will share a short presentation about the health issues associated with plastics. Sharon Kishida of the Interfaith Committee of the Cape Ann Climate Coalition and Ann Gero from Seaside Sustainability will briefly go over legislation in case you would like to help advocate for laws that limit plastic toxins. We will also meet business owners Sabrina Auclair from Unpacked Living and Deanna Fay from Hold Fast Company whose products are plastic-free to discuss alternatives. Throughout this event we hope to spark discussion on the problem of plastics.
Enter to win a free raffle with plastic alternative items for your home. Refreshments will be provided. All are welcome. We do not have childcare, but this is a child-friendly event.
