S4S Cafe - Responsibility for Plastic Pollution

Plastic has made its way to every corner of the globe, and as the production and use of plastic continue to grow, so does the problem of plastic pollution. For effective mitigation strategies we need to talk about responsibility in the context of plastic pollution. In this S4S-café we will discuss the plastic pollution problem, where we will dive into philosophical, mathematical, and computational ways to quantify its harm, understand its causality, and allocate responsibility.
