An essential part of the activities includes training students in developing a systems view of the plastic pollution problem and incorporating this view in graduate programs at universities. In collaboration with Middlebury institute at Monterey, we have produced classes and educational programs to facilitate this learning. We also produced a story of all the innovators to share with the students and inspire their work. Two grants were issued to support this work.
