Save The River launched their Replace Single-Use Plastics initiative in the same year that 'single-use' plastic was named word of the year by Collins Dictionary, highlighting the wave of news stories, social media hits and policies that have become increasingly common over the last few years. Why? What is the problem with plastic? Dr. Sherri "Sam" Mason will present a basic primer on what plastic is and the realities of plastic pollution right here, right now in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River region. 

Dr. Mason is a dynamic speaker whose energy and depth of knowledge captivates the audience. While a Professor of Chemistry at SUNY Fredonia, her research group was among the first to study the prevalence and impact of plastic pollution within freshwater ecosystems, leading to the federal ban of microbeads in consumer products. Among her accolades Dr. Mason was named an EPA Environmental Champion in 2016, was awarded for her Excellence in Environmental Research by the Earth Month Network in 2017 and was selected to receive a Heinz Award in Public Policy in 2018. 

A Meet and Greet Speaker's Reception will be held immediately following Dr. Mason's talk. Meet and Greet ticket holders will enjoy seating in the Premium seating section and complimentary beer and wine along with light appetizers at the Reception.
