WHEN: Thursday, Feb. 20, 5:30 – 7 p.m. 
WHERE: Tisch Commons
HOSTED BY: Student Sustainability Board (@wu_ssb) and the Student Environmental Council (@washusec)

Join the Student Sustainability Board (SSB) and the Student Environmental Council (SEC) in the Tisch Commons for a discussion about the environmental and social impacts of single-use plastic waste. You’ll have an opportunity to learn more about the the life cycle of plastics and the impact of plastic waste on marginalized communities. Together, we’ll transform old T-shirts into no-sew personal tote bags as we think about small, meaningful steps we can take toward more mindful consumption patterns that respect and better protect Earth and all its inhabitants.
