Summit Hosts
Laurel Springs School Plastics in the Past Quest
A Virtual Summit
Hosting in a virtual location allows us to reach people from around the world. We are starting a Plastics in the Past Quest and being able to share ideas around the world lets us know that the quest will begin to grow in small pockets and corners of the world, to ripple out and meet each other until there are no longer harmful plastics in use. We do not NEED harmful plastics for anything. There are alternative ways to get our needs met.
About the WIND Summit
WIND represents circularity and the potential to transform our global economy from one of extraction and waste of natural resources (linear), to one of continuous reuse and recycling (circular). Plastics, mostly derived from petroleum products, is one product that is causing problems in our environment and is contributing to climate change. This WIND Summit is convening Planeteers in communities around the world to develop campaigns to turn the tide on plastic.
