Clean Water Monday with Barnstable Clean Water Coalition at Cape Cod Beer!

Cape Cod Beer has teamed up with Barnstable Clean Water Coalition to create Clean Water Mondays (formally Clean Water Wednesdays), an educational series that will be held at Cape Cod Beer. Join the experts as we deep dive into topics that are affecting not only our water on Cape Cod but globally as well! #CleanWaterMatters This month they're tackling marine debris, the reliance on plastics, and its impact on our oceans. Living on Cape Cod, we are quite literally surrounded by the plastic pollution on a constant basis. Want to learn how you can play a part in fighting this global crisis? Head over to Cape Cod Beer on Monday, January 23rd at 6:30pm to hear from a local expert and an artist who are committed to addressing this problem in different ways! Laura Ludwig, director, and founder of the Marine Debris & Plastics Program at the Center for Coastal Studies, turns her passion into leadership through her work to fight the ocean pollution crisis. In 2012, Laura developed a “Beach Brigade” of 300 volunteers who work together to clean our shorelines. Laura will be sharing her knowledge and experience on plastic debris in our oceans and what we can do to help. However, the informative night doesn’t end there! Ever wonder what can be done with the plastic once it’s collected off the shore? Sarah Thornington, a Cape Cod photographer, and artist has found a valuable answer. As seen on CBS Boston, CapeCodXplore, and more, Sarah has found a new meaning to the word “upcycle” as she converts the trash collected from the shores into works of art!
