Ozyegin University Sustainability Platform is organizing Sustainability Talks as part of our university’s 10th Anniversary Events.  The talk series focuses on different dimensions of sustainability with the aim of deepening our knowledge leading to broadening our vision.  The first guest of the series has been Mrs. Şeyda Dağdeviren Hill, Environmental and Sustainability Coordinator of Deniz Temiz TURMEPA.  

In her talk, Mrs. Hill established the link between environmental pollution and excess consumption of humans followed by the extent of the plastic consumption and the harm it causes.  Subsequently she drew our attention to the plastic pollution in the seas and oceans.  She also underlined the fact that through the food chain, the plastic in the seas and oceans threatens not only marine life but human life as well.  The talk concluded with the ways to end plastic pollution.
