Join the League of Women Voters of Moscow on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. PT at the 1912 Center for Microplastics Are Micromonsters, an engaging presentation by scientist Katie Pelch of the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Plastic is everywhere—but what happens when it breaks down into particles too small to see? Pelch will explore the growing problem of microplastics, where they come from, how they move through our environment, and what we know about their potential impacts on human health and ecosystems.

From the water we drink to the food we eat and the air we breathe, microplastics are increasingly part of our everyday environment. This program offers an opportunity to learn more about this emerging issue, ask questions, and discover what communities and individuals can do to reduce plastic pollution.

Join us to learn why these tiny particles are becoming such a big concern—and what we can do about them.
