When UN leaders failed to pass a meaningful global plastics treaty, young organizers from across Hawaiʻi and Louisiana’s Cancer Alley came together to confront plastic pollution from both ends of the pipeline, i.e.—where it’s produced, and where it washes ashore. In this skill-building interactive, participants in the Bioneers Native Youth Ambassador Program from communities severely harmed by the plastic cycle will share their proven strategies to modify personal behavior, advocate for sustainable plastic policies, build zero-waste systems, and advance efforts to phase out single-use plastics. This youth-led interactive is for anyone living on the frontlines of endemic pollution or climate catastrophe—and for anyone who wants to learn from and support them.
