• February 15- "Aberrant Waste: Ocean Plastics" A talk by Max Liboiron

  DATE: Wednesday, February 15, 2012
  TIME: 5:30-7:00PM
  LOCATION: Bobst Library, 2nd floor, South wing, Avery Room
  RSVP required: http://tinyurl.com/oceanplastics
  
  
  There is plastic in every ocean in the world. Plastic is a unique pollutant that defies current theories and practices of pollution control we have come to depend upon. This illustrated talk will focus on a single sample of ocean plastics taken from the North Pacific Ocean and follow the threads of how it was collected, how samples are used in science and advocacy, their place in the popular imagination, and how an individual specimen can and cannot scale up to illuminate a new global pollution that will characterize the twenty-first century.
  
  Max Liboiron is a PhD candidate in the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication at NYU and is the Regional Co-Director of the Plastic Pollution Coalition East Coast. You can find more about Max's work on plastics at http://maxliboiron.com.
