PLAN YOUR DAY
Saturday, April 13, 2024
ENGAGE WITH EXPERTS
Wyckoff Center, Case Center second floor
Plan to attend one or both of these exciting panel discussions on hot topics in sustainability
11:00 am-12:30 pm
The industrial agricultural technologies of the 20th century like irrigation, chemical fertilizers and pesticides have increased food production at the cost of agricultural workers’ health, small farms, water waste, and soil health. How can we grow and eat our way to a healthier, more equitable world? Learn more from panelists with deep roots in these topics as urban agriculturalists and upstate farmers.
1:30-3:00 pm
Plastic pollution has invaded our environment, with microplastics now prevalent in the water, soil, and in our own homes. Wildlife are found with pounds of plastic in their stomachs and microplastics have now been discovered in the human body, too. Exposure to microplastics, and the chemicals added to plastic products, causes detrimental effects to human health. Unfortunately, the world’s current methods of plastic recycling are flawed and ineffective, so greater emphasis needs to be placed on reducing the demand for single-use plastics all together by investing in reusable items, repairing broken goods, and holding the polluters accountable. We must work together to address the environmental injustice of today’s plastic pollution crisis.
