The effects of Microplastic on our Yarra River

 While we know plastic is entering our ocean and rivers at an increasing rate, a lot of us may not know about microplastics and their impacts on the environment.  Join us at an upcoming session with Dr Nicole Kowalczyk, Yarra Riverkeepers’ Association Education Manager, and hear about the serious implications of microplastics at a local level and how they are affecting the Yarra River. You will learn where microplastics come from, the impact they are having on our aquatic ecosystem and what you can do to reduce this plastic entering our waterways.   _This workshop is part of the 'Living for our Future Program', a community sustainable living initiative of the City of Boroondara. Stay up to date about future events and resources by visiting our Living for our Future webpage  [https://www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/waste-environment/sustainability/sustainable-living-workshops-and-events]or by signing up for our e-newsletter [http://vic.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=de6deb8c020ca6ec13645c9bc&id=77f340cb85]._
