| Putting a Lid on Plastic Pollution |
| Ohio Sea Grant Extension Educator Jill Bartolotta and Stone Lab Education & Outreach Assistant Sue Bixler have estimated that Put-in-Bay tourists could eliminate 2.81 million plastic straws, 2.81 million plastic bags and 3.75 million plastic bottles a year by choosing reusable alternatives. A two-year outreach project encourages those alternatives on the island and at home. Clean Marinas staff member Paul Dravillas is assisting with boater outreach. |
