The Nature Conservancy and Block Island Club cordially invite you to attend A Coastal Conversation with Barbara deVries

Barbara deVries, artist, designer and conservationist will share remarks from her TED talk.

Barbara deVries, founder of Plastic is Forever: “My main objective is to remove beach plastic pollution off the beaches and re-cycle it into fashionable, designer products like jewelry, objects for the home and use it as embellishment on clothes. Plastic is Forever alone will never be able to make a noticeable difference in the amount of plastic that washes up on every beach with every tide and every wave. That’s why I encourage others to be inspired by my work and help introduce this material (that nobody owns) into caring ownership. If diamonds are forever than maybe beachplastic, which will last forever, can also be loved forever.”
