Very recently I got invited to a workshop on plastic pollution policy advocacy that was organized by Plastic Pollution Coalition, Oceana and Student PIRG's. I had a wonderful time, leaned so much about media training, lobbying, campaign planning, crafting local legislation, starting a local community group, and more. I met many amazing people including Plastic Pollution Coalition's Co-founder and Managing Director Julia Cohen with whom I had the pleasure of talking to for this episode. Julia is an incredible woman with a career on leadership and community outreach. Some of her positions are amongst organizations like Environmental Working Group (EWG), Woman’s National Democratic Club (WNDC), National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), Save The Children’s Youth Noise, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and many more. Today we talked about Plastic Pollution Coalition, what it does, what we can learn and how we can join to make changes in our lives.
