Students That Oppose Plastic (STOP) Pollution

Plastic pollution is everywhere, yet plastic production is expected to triple by 2050.

That’s why Environment Washington, WashPIRG Students, Puget Soundkeeper, Zero Waste WA, and other Plastic Free WA Coalition members will be hosting student-centered activism workshops on Mondays throughout Nov & December.

The purpose of these workshops is so youth activists can learn how to activate their voices and create policy change to help address our plastic problem, take action on climate, and more.  Workshops will be held on Zoom and are open to students grades 8 and above.
