The bins provide educational resources and interactive activities to help engage with and learn about microplastic’s lasting impact. You can participate in this project by collecting small plastics from home or outside.   <img width="4000" height="2252" width_o="4000" height_o="2252" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/387780e1651df78fb586c2912b98cddce5d549dea97349c156a4546e50af22a1/Jars-MRB.jpg" data-mid="210448050" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/387780e1651df78fb586c2912b98cddce5d549dea97349c156a4546e50af22a1/Jars-MRB.jpg" /> <img width="3918" height="2206" width_o="3918" height_o="2206" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/09b05891a9a1401e3ef6d95db4840e68bea572914fa350022c1f9ea762780d75/20230620_200408-1.jpg" data-mid="251364996" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/09b05891a9a1401e3ef6d95db4840e68bea572914fa350022c1f9ea762780d75/20230620_200408-1.jpg" /> <img width="3904" height="2198" width_o="3904" height_o="2198" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5cb6454dfc22740b2e542a47fe9ea4078eb3ae43f6a0fe207ecc077f3136fa2c/20230910_163504.jpg" data-mid="251364997" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5cb6454dfc22740b2e542a47fe9ea4078eb3ae43f6a0fe207ecc077f3136fa2c/20230910_163504.jpg" /> <img width="3178" height="1959" width_o="3178" height_o="1959" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/327dc1669798711bf4e7f34e665eeb6460c1c7d7f766514b14f5cba02769c0aa/mrb-img2.jpg" data-mid="251363034" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/327dc1669798711bf4e7f34e665eeb6460c1c7d7f766514b14f5cba02769c0aa/mrb-img2.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2252" width_o="4000" height_o="2252" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6eaf724bc8c6b0e029499ac556e1ea408bb3a5d569336d907e5158854463fc8e/20230716_111819.jpg" data-mid="251364947" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6eaf724bc8c6b0e029499ac556e1ea408bb3a5d569336d907e5158854463fc8e/20230716_111819.jpg" /> <img width="3735" height="2186" width_o="3735" height_o="2186" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/372349465fc48c60155b56e144f23368c668338eacb25582d534c6185ac26423/mrb-delaware.jpg" data-mid="210455102" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/372349465fc48c60155b56e144f23368c668338eacb25582d534c6185ac26423/mrb-delaware.jpg" /> WORKSHOPS https://brokenplastics.org/WORKSHOPS-4 Tue, 07 May 2024 13:53:04 +0000 Broken Plastics https://brokenplastics.org/WORKSHOPS-4 Fishing for PlasticsAll Ages In this workshop we repurpose recycled microplastics from the Microplastic Recycling Bin Project to create microplastic mosaics.Using Air-Dry Clay and Mod Podge we create mosaics in the shape of aquatic animals who are harmed by accidently consuming microplastics. This is a kinesthetic approach to learning about the impact of microplastics while permanently removing them from the cycle of harm. <img width="900" height="600" width_o="900" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7a3b067e7535f872aa0f76527bfbc667d3bfafcd190ee88c355287450bcb1db8/fishing-for-plastics.jpg" data-mid="210454724" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/900/i/7a3b067e7535f872aa0f76527bfbc667d3bfafcd190ee88c355287450bcb1db8/fishing-for-plastics.jpg" /> Create Your Own Field Guide to Microplastics<img width="3001" height="1876" width_o="3001" height_o="1876" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/31bb90aa83b99b3364775125ef93772ab96c59cd57b92f5248d3da4b211ed8bd/horizontal.svg" data-mid="210445164" border="0" src="//freight.cargo.site/w/900/q/75/i/31bb90aa83b99b3364775125ef93772ab96c59cd57b92f5248d3da4b211ed8bd/horizontal.svg" style="width: 1062.95px; height: 664.477px; display: none;"> Ages 5+ Use this art and science based activity book to help scavenge for plastic in a meanigful way.
