Students are Meeting This Weekend to Develop Solutions to Plastic Pollution
- "Latest research says 4.8 to 12.7 million tons of plastic makes its way from land into our oceans every year. Added to the recent first-ever accounting of total plastic floating in the world’s oceans – approximately 5.25 trillion pieces – and the situation seems dire. But as the tide of plastic trash rises, so does the real-time impetus to combat the problem. With this goal in mind, ninety students – ranging from 11 to 18 years old – will gather at Dana Point’s renowned Ocean Institute on February 27th, for the intensive three-day Plastic Ocean Pollution Solutions (POPS) Leadership Summit. - excerpt from news release about Algalita Youth Summit.
