Aired Live on 11/02/2019: Featuring Jeffrey Jacoby, Deputy Director for the Texas Campaign for the Environment; and Katy Launius sustainability coordinator and Dean of Students Success and Wellness at Eastfield College.
Jeffrey speaks about changing the habits of texans one door, and one person at a time. They are a ground up organization who work to pass state wide legislation on climate change and pollution, enact curb side recycling and composting, and eliminate single-use bag banning, to name a few.
Learn about Jeffrey’s national presentation from “The Drill To The Dump”, and “We Can’t Recycle Our Way Out Of This.” Jeffrey will shed light on the life cycle of plastic, with the true beginning being at the drilling of oil (especially in West Texas).
Understand how plastic is recycled, or otherwise, not properly recycled and how you can be responsible with the products you buy and how you reuse and recycle them.
Also learn about the negative health impacts of the build up of micro-plastics in our environment.
Finally, hear from Katy, about how the the communities of Texas are being educated in environmental sustainability through Eastfield College’s programs on each of their campuses.
