TONIGHT! - THIS IS THE YEAR WE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTICS!

Please join the TTPW Beyond Plastics Youth Activists on Zoom for this timely interactive discussion featuring Long Island native, Erica Cirino, Tuesday, December 7 @ 7:00 pm. 

Erica Cirino is a science writer, author and artist who explores the intersection of the human and nonhuman worlds. Her widely published photojournalistic works depict the numerous ways people connect to nature—and each other—and shape planet Earth.

In this presentation plus Q & A, Erica will share her research and photos from her ocean travels and discuss her new book: Thicker Than Water: The Quest for Solutions to the Plastic Crisis (published by Island Press, in October 2021).  

Erica’s life work documents plastic across ecosystems and elements. She shares stories from the primarily Black, brown, Indigenous and rural communities that are disproportionately harmed by industrial pollution globally and uncovers strategies that work to prevent plastic from causing further devastation to our planet and its inhabitants.

Ever wondered what the Great Pacific Garbage Patch really looks like? Come to this zoom presentation to find out! Erica has sailed her boat through it and surely it is much more than any of us can ever imagine.
