This workshop will explore what plastics are,  and what we are learning about their toxicity and effects on human health.  From there we will brainstorm what we can do to reduce our own risks and decrease our use of plastic.

Dr. Bridget Lee is an emergency physician at NeighborHealth in East Boston, where she runs a sustainability team.  She is also a member of Greater Boston Beyond Plastic and is on their speaker’s bureau, and helps to educate healthcare providers on how and why to reduce plastic in their practice.  

Members of Boston's Zero Waste Team will also be there to share resources for reducing and managing waste in Boston.
