SUMMARY:Weston Roundtable - Turning the Tide on Plastic Pollution and Other
  Ocean Threats: A Science-Based Campaign Approach
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kim Warner\, Senior Scientist\, Oceana\n\nHow do we pr
 otect and restore our oceans? This talk will explore the campaign approach
  Oceana\, an ocean conservation organization\, uses to achieve science-bas
 ed policy victories.\n\nWarner will touch briefly on her work and what it 
 took to achieve favorable policy outcomes in both the mercury-contaminated
  and mislabeled seafood campaigns but focus more on her current work on pl
 astic pollution\, including the full lifecycle of plastic and its harmful 
 effects. Warner will also touch on the distinctions of doing science for a
 dvocacy and what training helped prepare her.\n\nThe Weston Roundtable is 
 made possible by a generous donation from Roy F. Weston\, a highly accompl
 ished UW-Madison alumnus. Designed to promote a robust understanding of su
 stainability science\, engineering\, and policy\, these interactive lectur
 es are co-sponsored by the Center for Sustainability and the Global Envir
 onment (SAGE)\, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, a
 nd the Office of Sustainability.
