We were able to place 50 brochures in the entryway to Sense of Thai restaurant located in One Loudoun. Individuals were able to grab a brochure as soon as they walked in. Brochures include what a microplastic is, the harmful effects of microplastics on human health, and the importance of caring about microplastics. In addition, our other informational resources were attached in the brochures. All of our brochures were taken, so we interacted with at least 50 people, and possibly left an impression on 300 individuals.

At Steuart W. Weller Elementary School, we gave microplastic-based presentations to five different classes of third graders. The presentation included the science behind microplastics, the effects on human health, and sustainable alternatives. At the end, we passed out bookmarks with microplastic fun facts that the students were able to color in.
