Speaker Series – Ban the Butt
May 19, 2024 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Save Our Shores is proud to present this year’s first Speaker Series – Ban the Butt, in partnership with the Seymour Marine Discovery Center.
Together, we invite community members to join us to chat with a panel of local district supervisors, scientists, and nonprofit representatives to learn about the impacts single use cigarette filters have on environmental and public health, and discuss how the panelists are working together to ban the sale of single use cigarette filters in Santa Cruz County. This event will include an opportunity for attendees to engage in a Q&A and lively discussion directly with the panelists.
We invite the Monterey Bay community to join us and take part in this Speaker Series!
Light breakfast offerings will be available from Adorable French Bakery and Verve Coffee.
