Part of the Sustainability U Series

Humanity has defined itself through its relations with the oceans over time culturally, socially and economically. The ocean has become central to maintaining life and livelihoods in every respect. Nevertheless, we have yet to understand our impacts on this life source or to discover its interconnectivity beneath the surface. In this presentation, we’ll discuss how oceans act as carbon sinks, plus the causes and impacts of plastic pollution, and the consequences of both.

Presenter: Lori Delacruz Lewis, assistant director of sustainability for education at Dallas College.
