Noon MST – Webinar: The Plastics Lifecycle: Implications for climate change.  Presented by CHE Alaska (Collaborative for Health Environment).  Plastics are often treated as a waste problem, but they are fundamentally a health and climate problem.  The Arctic is uniquely positioned as both a source of petrochemical extraction and an atmospheric sink where plastics and microplastics accumulate, carried by global air and ocean currents. This CHE Alaska webinar will explore the deep interconnections between plastics, health, and climate change, with a specific focus on the Arctic. Dr. Leonardo Transande and Rosemary Ahtuangaruak will examine the full lifecycle of plastics, the role of fossil fuel expansion in plastic production, and why the Arctic is on the frontlines of this crisis.  REGISTER FOR THIS SEMINAR IN ADVANCE HERE https://www.healthandenvironment.org/che-webinars/97115
