Plastic Free – One Family’s Experience

Part of the Climate Preparedness Week Series:
Erika Zekos – an Amherst-based artist/architect and UMass professor – and her family took on the challenge to live without plastic for a month, as posed by the Plastic Free July campaign. Erika will report on the successes and obstacles her family faced, and how they are moving forward to eliminate plastic in their lives.

For more information on this challenge, check out www.plasticfreejuly.org. Plastic Free July is a campaign led by the Plastic Free Foundation. Each year, millions of people around the globe take the challenge and choose to refuse single-use plastics. Our vision is to see a world without plastic waste.

Climate Preparedness Week is a series created by Communities Responding to Extreme Weather (CREW). For more information and listing of other programs throughout the state, please visit www.climatecrew.org/prep_week
