NEWLY published research confirms filters DO make

NEWLY published research confirms filters DO make a difference in staunching pollution from washing your clothes. We're going to work with you to make sure this important research leads to more filters on washing machines and filters built into washing machines. Find out more about the research, and what you can do to help. https://georgianbayforever.org/parry-sound-study/

THANK YOU Georgian Bay Forever donors and funders for contributing to this important work. And, our deep appreciation to the researchers - Lisa Erdle, Dorsa Nouri Parto, Chelsea Rochman from the University of Toronto - and their funders and partners. And to all the staff at GBF, especially noting the outstanding efforts of Brooke Harrison the Coordinator on the Divert and Capture project, our Executive Director David Sweetnam, and Director of Fund Development Amber Gordon.

The research article can be found at Frontiers in Marine Science: Marine Bulletin and is called: Washing Machine Filters Reduce Microfiber Emissions: Evidence From a Community-Scale Pilot in Parry Sound, Ontario. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2021.777865

This week’s Plastic Pollution Pointer: Avoid sin

This week’s Plastic Pollution Pointer: Avoid single use plastic bags by bringing reusable bags!

This is an easy change for your shopping routine! Did you know... approximately 15 billion plastic bags are thrown away in Canada every year. Plastic bags are single use and rarely get recycled leaving billions of bags in landfills and aquatic environments such as Georgian Bay. By bringing reusable produce bags and shopping bags we can greatly reduce the amount of plastic bags thrown away each year!
