  Helen Bailey\n\n\n\nWe’re all used to disposal plastic\, but some of it e
 nds up in our streams\, rivers\, the Chesapeake Bay\, and ultimately the o
 cean\, harming the wildlife and sealife. CBL scientists partnered with res
 taurants on Solomons Island and with the Calvert and St. Mary’s County Pub
 lic Middle Schools to work together on reducing plastic waste and pollutio
 n. In this talk\, Dr. Bailey will explain how businesses are “making the s
 witch” from common single-use\, petroleum-based plastics to alternative pr
 oducts\, how scientists are working with schools\, and how YOU can help!
