Ojai local Henry N. Mooney will visit the Ojai Library at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, September 18, 2019, to present a special lecture titled “The Plasticene – Exploring the Hidden Social and Economic Costs of Plastics in the Modern Age.”
Our global usage of disposable plastics can no longer be considered sustainable. And, even though we’re all told to bring re-usable bags everywhere, or say no to straws at restaurants, our global consumption of plastics continues to rise on an annual basis, so clearly there is a piece of the puzzle missing in combatting plastics.
Join Henry Mooney to explore the hidden social and economic costs of our global dependence on disposability, the direct links of plastics to fossil fuel industries, and the pitfalls of a throw-away society.
