These stations are your opportunity to connect with local initiatives, discover volunteer opportunities, and learn practical ways to support cleaner water and a healthier planet. Whether you're new to environmental advocacy or already involved, you'll find inspiration, information, and ways to take meaningful action in your community.
Ripples of Plastic
Embark on an eye-opening journey through the unseen impacts of plastic pollution in the Great Lakes region. Guided by Dr. Sherri Mason and other regional voices, witness the vast extent of contamination pathways, effects of microplastics, and the unexpected toll on human health. Beyond individual action, the film inspires a collective movement for transformative progress toward a plastic-free future.
This film was created by Ohio filmmakers Chris Langer (director and producer) and Josh Heese (editor).
