Join us on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 1:30 pm at the National Museum of the Great Lakes for a special screening of the documentary "Ripples of Plastic," presented in collaboration with Partners for Clean Streams. This powerful film sheds light on the growing impact of plastic pollution in the Great Lakes, featuring local landscapes and voices from our region.
