I've been meaning to reshare this 2014 blog post, to give a bit more context on the start of my work in this space. In 2000 I was very new & full of ideas. So much has happened since then (like the terms we use, plastic pollution instead of marine debris).

My #UGAGrad speech key message is an equation. But not numbers, even though I do love numbers. It's 3 words. Persistence + Patience = Perseverance
"Savor and acknowledge all that you have accomplished. Then, go forth to meet your calling and rise to the occasion. Because with persistence and patience, you will continue to persevere." - @JambeckResearch, @UGAGradSchool Commencement speaker #UGAGrad

@minderoo Reuse provides many business opportunities (wash, transport...), and there are systems by well-known brands already in place that work well. #OceanSummit

@dr_imariwalker So you want to know about plastics in one expert, absorbing, super-quick read? Then this book's for you. "Plastics" is the story of a modern miracle, a Frankenstein's monster, and one of the most pervasive pollutants in the world all rolled into one. Five stars!
