Surprising News About Wildfires and Climate Change and the Science of Too Much Pleasure-The Origins of Your Local Roadside Litter

Andrew Gray, PhD, Assistant Professor of Watershed Hydrology in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Riverside, led a recent study that found that most items in roadside litter typically originate less than two miles from where they’re found, and unless humans remove them, most of these items will never leave the environment. He hopes the research will help cities to develop strategies to prevent plastic litter that eventually taints water and air.
