BDN publishes op-ed on plastics by UMaine graduate student
The Bangor Daily News published an opinion piece from Erin Victor, a doctoral candidate at the University of Maine, on addressing the use of single-use plastics in schools and normalizing reuse systems. Titled “We must move beyond magical thinking to normalize reuse systems,” the piece highlights her research in anthropology and environmental policy and engagement with the Natural Resources Council of Maine and Reuse Maine to promote sustainable practices. Victor is a member of the Maine chapter of the national Scholars Strategy Network, which brings together scholars across the country to address public challenges and their policy implications.
