Ocean Plastic - Episode 3 - Making Waves (21:27 Min)

Join a group of pro-active high school students as they learn how to get their concerns about global plastics and their voices heard by policy makers and company CEOs. Learn about new grocery and retail stores that provide their products in bulk, and encourage consumers to come in with their own reusable containers to refill as needed, helping to eliminate the need for wasteful single-use packaging. There are things we all -each and every one of us- can do to make a real difference, from small lifestyle changes, to learning how to identify and address policy makers… and steps that really make a positive improvement in protecting our planet.
