This is the third in our series of Tackling Plastic webinars from Eco-Schools NI, part of Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful.
In this webinar, wildlife explorer, film maker and field biologist Dan O’Neill will entertain and motivate us to do our part in tackling Pointless Plastic with emphasis on rivers. Scientists have now found evidence of plastic contamination in the freshwater fish of the Amazon. We hear about the extent to which bags, bottles, and other waste is affecting our oceans, but what about our rivers? Dan O’Neill will lead us on a journey into how one fifth of plastic waste in our oceans actually comes from rivers. We'll meet the millions of people and animals that depend on the plastic contaminated river fish, and show how just a small change in your practices at home can go a long way to protecting local rivers and freshwater species.
This webinar was recorded on 16th September 2020. The Tackling Plastics webinar series is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs.
