Plastics in the Ocean – with Giora Proskurowski (UW Oceanography)

On April 24, discover the impact of plastics on the world’s oceans with Giora Proskurowski from UW Oceanography.
While working on a research sailboat in the Pacific Ocean, UW Oceanography Research Scientist Giora Proskurowski observed water littered with confetti-size pieces of plastic debris, then the wind picked up and the particles disappeared.  

A Humble Feast is a student-run “pop-up” restaurant in the Husky Den kitchen intended as an experimental laboratory for cooking whole-food affordable meals on a student budget as well as for farm-to-school food sourcing.
