I've been meaning to reshare this 2014 blog post, to give a bit more context on the start of my work in this space. In 2000 I was very new & full of ideas. So much has happened since then (like the terms we use, plastic pollution instead of marine debris). https://t.co/gg8OVBkyug

@n_yang I was a senior in high school in a tiny MN town working at a very quiet A&W the night it started snowing! Made it home 9 miles out of town just before it got too bad to drive on our roads.

My #UGAGrad speech key message is an equation. But not numbers, even though I do love numbers. It's 3 words.
Persistence + Patience = Perseverance

"Savor and acknowledge all that you have accomplished. Then, go forth to meet your calling and rise to the occasion. Because with persistence and patience, you will continue to persevere." - @JambeckResearch, @UGAGradSchool Commencement speaker #UGAGrad
