    Ever wondered about the story of plastics? Are you curious about how this material has shaped our current world and what holds for its future? This special Plastic Free July workshop is for you!

    Join sustainability educator Laura Monisse for an engaging session on plastic, its past, its present uses and issues, and its future. We will look at how plastics have evolved, their impact on humans, health, technology and the environment, and discuss ideas for a more sustainable future.

    Together, we'll explore:

    • The history of plastics: from discovery to mass production
    • The environmental impact of plastic and plastic waste
    • The role of plastics in our daily lives: benefits and challenges
    • New materials and technologies that could replace traditional plastics
    • Simple ways to use less plastic in your everyday life
    • Creative ways to avoid, reuse, and recycle better
    • The future of plastics: new policies, research, and global trends

    This interactive session will allow you to share your experiences, learn from others and understand the complex relationship between plastics, humans and our environment. You'll leave the workshop with more awareness about the challenges, opportunities and future solutions for plastic, and with inspiration to live with less plastic waste.
