What can we do about the plastic problem?

Our Mission

 

To mobilize communities, Philadelphia and beyond, to protect their environment through citizen science, education, and action-oriented cleanups focused on mitigating plastic pollution.

 

Our Vision

 

Empowering passionate environmental stewards to lead communities towards a healthy, thriving future, free from the burden of plastic waste.

 

The Plastic-Free Pals team (w Effy Zhiyuan Yu, PhD, RN, CNE) has successfully completed the NSF I-Corps program, an intensive experience in customer discovery, market validation, and translating research into real world impact.

We are excited to put these insights into action as we move forward with our venture, focused on disseminating a fast, accessible method for microplastic detection.

Stay tuned. FIMAP is about to make the invisible visible and impossible to ignore.
