Southeastern Louisiana University’s Sims Library and the Sustainability Center are presenting a series of Green Talks about timely environmental issues affecting Southeast Louisiana.
Now in its third year, the Green Talks series is part of a campaign to promote ecological awareness at Southeastern.
The next 30 minute talk is scheduled Wednesday, April 28, at 1 p.m. Titled “The 2020 New Orleans Nurdle Spill – Tracking the Path of Hundreds of Millions of Plastic Pellets,” the talk will be given by Dr. Mark Benfield of LSU’s Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences. Benfield will describe the events around the spill, the fate of the nurdles, and the questions that this event raised regarding the procedures to deal with plastic spills.
This year, due to COVID restrictions, all Green Talks are presented via Google Meet. Recordings of the presentations will be available to all who register.
