Microplastics: What’s All the Buzz About?
You’ve probably been hearing more and more about microplastics—but what are they, really, and why should we care?
Join us for an engaging and easy-to-understand talk with Dr. Nick Procopio from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. He’ll break it all down in plain language—what microplastics are, where they come from, and what scientists are learning about their impact on our health and environment. He’ll also share how New Jersey is tackling this issue through research and new legislation.
Dr. Procopio leads the DEP’s Division of Science and Research and brings a wealth of knowledge (and real-world insight) to this timely topic. He’s also an adjunct professor at Drexel University and a local Camden County resident—so he understands the issues close to home.
After the presentation, there will be plenty of time for your questions.
