More about A-Z Plastics: This event will not only showcase this groundbreaking legislation, but it will also kick off of the A-Z series 2.0! Last summer People Over Petro and many of its partners joined in a summer digital series and summit called Tackling theA-Z Impacts of Plastic - From Fracked Gas to Plastic Pollution in the Ohio River Valley and Beyond. Hundreds of people joined in a social network with events, arts, and discussions around the impacts of plastic and what we can do about it. See impactsofplastic.com for more info, to join the A-Z community, and watch recordings of past events.
