GBA Meets with MPP Saunderson to Discuss Microplastic Pollution in the Great Lakes
GBA representatives met with Brian Saunderson, MPP for Simcoe-Grey, to discuss how to reduce microplastic/microfibre pollution in the Great Lakes. This exploratory meeting should lead to the development of a strategy to build consensus across industry, academia, government and NGOs on how we can work together to get microfibre filters installed on new washing machine filters, and encourage their application on existing washing machines.
Eden Hataley, from the University of Toronto, presented a summary of the issue to show why action is needed. See the presentation here.
