Spring 2019 Plastics Campaign Volunteers
Help our summer student staff Gloria build a campaign to reduce plastic waste in grocery stores. There are things we can do as consumers to reduce our impact regarding plastics in the environment, but we need to insist our governments and retailers make changes that help change the system.
OPIRG McMaster would love to have your help with a number of different roles.
Get in touch with Gloria to find out more at plastics@opirgmcmaster.org

Programming
We are taking action to reduce the amount of plastic making its way into the waste stream and the natural environment. During the summer of 2019 our Eco Campaign coordinator Gloria Ko is working to design a campaign to introduce structural changes that would limit the ways manufacturers to use single-use plastics.
Get involved in the campaign to help us create the change we need!
