Volunteer opportunities in Plastic Solutions
From administration to zooplankton photographers
Immediate Needs:
Admin help: Determine which PS members have not completed the PS Contact/Experience Forms, and send email invitations to encourage them to complete the form. This will help us find each other, connect and collaborate, but this on-going project will require monitoring and tender loving care.
Professional Literature Watchers: 1) Help to compile a list of journals, bulletins, media and other sources of breaking news on plastic issues. 2) Then, assist in developing a team of members to divide and monitor this list, and forward pertinent articles and videos to the Plastic Solutions Link Farm, a shared, searchable spreadsheet of plastic information with descriptions, channel type, source, keywords and links.
Webinar Reviewers: Receive a webinar to review, and complete a simple form to evaluate the webinar as a whole, and then review each panelist or speaker. Should be people who enjoy learning, like flexible projects, and are not incapistated by forms. Do one a month, one a week, or more. Purpose is to find webinars to recommend to ESRAG and PS members, and also to find the “best of the best ” speakers and topics for our own webinar development.
Writers, presenters, photographers and graphic designers: Contribute your creative talents to generate the fodder for newsletters, presentations, social media and other communications. Contact Lori Cloutier to informally discuss your talents and Plastic Solutions needs.
Zoom Directors: Be part of a team to help conduct Zoom meetings, presentations and webinars. Should be technically competent and experienced, or willing to be taught.
Zooplankton Photographers: Shoot or find stunning photos of zooplankton with micro fibers in their digestive tracts. Yeah, this is a thing. Photos must be high resolution, royalty free, and able to be shared for free, or for very small cost.
