Description:

Julie Silverman | Lake Champlain Lakekeeper, Conservation Law Foundation

Polystyrene foam is one of the top items of marine debris littered on shorelines, beaches, and surface water worldwide, including Lake Champlain. Most people picture coffee cups and take-out trays when they think of polystyrene foam. But it’s also used for coolers, worm containers, and boat and dock floatation. The problem, however, is that polystyrene foam is brittle and easily breaks into fragments when exposed to the sun, wind, waves, ice, impacts from driftwood, and wildlife. And all of those fragments add up to a lot of pollution. 

Julie Silverman has worked hard in helping clean up our lake. Her work with the Conservation Law Foundation and the Rozalia Project continues in the struggle. Together, we can end this toxic pollution and create cleaner and healthier water for swimming, fishing, paddling, and wildlife.
