Dear John,

On November 8, 2025, [TEDxGreatPacificGarbagePatch]([link removed]) will be livestreamed from Santa Monica, CA, featuring sessions with global thought leaders addressing the question: How Do We Solve Plastic Pollution by 2040?

We will dive into exploring the necessary and innovative solutions to the plastic pollution crisis—strong policies, culture change, and business solutions, including regenerative materials and product design, reuse solutions and circular systems, finance and investing, and corporate accountability. Together, we will share the wealth of knowledge gained and galvanize collective action to tackle one of humanity's toughest challenges.
