Microplastic in Illinois Waterways Presentation Tuesday, October 20th, 6 p.m. at Barrington Area Library
The Flint & Spring Creek Watershed Partnership Highlights Upcoming Research
Microplastics are turning up in Illinois rivers, lakes, and streams — and a new statewide survey found them at 100% of sites tested, from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi. Join Emily Kowalski, co-author of Environment Illinois's groundbreaking report Microplastic in Illinois, for an eye-opening 45-minute talk on what's really flowing through our waterways, how it gets there, and what we can do about it. Come learn how something smaller than a grain of rice is reshaping Illinois's environment — and what it means for our water, wildlife, and all of us.
The Event is free and open to the public. Co-Sponsored by Barrington Area Library, Flint & Spring Creek Watersheds Partnership, Barrington Rotary Club and Go Green Barrington.
