SUMMARY:PPC Webinar | This is Your Brain on Plastic: What You Need to Know About Plastics & Health
DESCRIPTION:Scientists recently discovered that the human brain contains the equivalent of a plastic spoon’s worth of microplastics. This alarming new research is more evidence of the growing presence of plastic inside our bodies that is linked to an exponential rise in serious health problems. Plastics have been linked to cancer; hormone disruption; infertility and reproductive issues; metabolism disorders such as obesity and thyroid diseases; neurological disabilities and diseases such as Alzheimer’s\, dementia\, and Parkinson’s—with children and pregnant people among those most vulnerable to these risks. And with more than 400 million metric tons of plastic produced every year as children’s toys\, household items\, clothing\, food and drink packaging\, and a seemingly endless array of other plastic products\, our exposure to plastic pollution is virtually constant.  \nOn Wednesday\, April 16\, 2025\, Plastic Pollution Coalition will host a panel of experts to explore the latest research and discuss how you can protect yourself and your loved ones while also supporting the wider systemic changes needed to solve the plastic pollution crisis. Joining the discussion will be Dr. Shanna Swan\, Prof. Icahn School of Medicine at Mt Sinai; Aminah Taariq-Sidibe\, Manager of End Plastic Initiatives\, EarthDay.Org; and Ziya Tong\, Author & Filmmaker. The webinar will be moderated by Dr. Manasa Mantravadi\, Pediatrician & Founder/CEO\, Ahimsa.

SUMMARY:Educational Talk: Local Roots\, How Native Species Shape Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, April 17th\, for a look into the vital role native plant species play in supporting local wildlife\, pollinators\, and ecosystems. This talk will explore how native plants promote biodiversity\, out-compete invasive species\, and create healthier more sustainable landscapes. We will discuss practical ways to source and incorporate native plants into your own space\, strategies for managing invasive species\, and how you can get involved in local restoration efforts or more educational opportunities. Learn what is happening in our Sunriver community to restore native habitats and how you can be part of the solution.
