Getzler Lab at KenyonCollege<p>Rereading the Pew Charitable Trust’s “Breaking The Plastic Wave” report to prep for tomorrow’s visit to Kenyon by one of the project’s leaders, Dr. Palardy. It’s equal parts sobering &amp; inspiring. A tour-de-force of deeply informed, open-source analysis &amp; system-level thinking. In short, no single solution (collect &amp; dispose, <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/recycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recycle</span></a>, reduce &amp; substitute) can do it - system change is needed. <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plastic</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/OceanConservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OceanConservation</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/oceanplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oceanplastics</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/reuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reuse</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/chemicalrecycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chemicalrecycling</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/articles/2020/07/23/breaking-the-plastic-wave-top-findings" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-</span><span class="invisible">analysis/articles/2020/07/23/breaking-the-plastic-wave-top-findings</span></a></p>
