Talking Trash!

Julie Lawson currently serves as the Director of Mayor Muriel Bowser’s Office of the Clean City in Washington, DC. Lawson works closely with the Mayor and District agencies to execute the Clean City initiative, coordinate service delivery operations, and oversee community engagement efforts. Join us for our March 2019 Conservation Café to hear Julie Lawson Talking Trash! In a fun and informative presentation, she will cover:

• why is plastic a problem?
• why do people litter? How do we change that behavior?
• history and results of trash pollution policies in the region
• the design and findings of the Chesapeake Bay Trash Trawl
• how this past work fits into her new role/what is Mayor Bowser (and other local leaders) doing to address litter?
