YES! is partnering with the Belmont Public Library for a myth-busting community workshop exploring the real cost of single-use plastic — and how refill stores offer a smarter, more sustainable, and often more affordable alternative.

Presented by Sophia Orr, a BU senior and EarthEcho International Marine Plastics Ambassador, this accessible, practical presentation explores not just the environmental impact of single-use plastic, but its potential effects on human health — and what simple swaps can do to reduce both. Walk away with concrete tips for cutting plastic, reducing your exposure to plastic-associated chemicals, and saving money on everyday essentials.

Following the presentation, YES! Your Eco Source co-owners Kate Bositis and Ceilidh Yurenka will lead a panel discussion and Q&A with Sophia.

Free and open to the public. Registration required due to limited seating.
