John,

We’ve got a big plastic problem. From the dirty production process to the waste that pollutes our waterways, our reliance on disposable plastics hurts communities and the environment. So how do we fix it?

Join Food & Water Action for an online community screening of The Story of Plastic and a post-film discussion. You will be able to chat with policy experts and activists to explore the scope of the plastic problem and the policy changes needed to address it.

From the makers of The Story of Stuff, the newly released film The Story of Plastic takes a sweeping look at the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on people and the planet – fields full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash, rivers and seas clogged with waste, and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from plastic production and processing.

The Story of Plastic features interviews with experts and activists on the front lines of the fight, revealing the disastrous consequences of the flood of plastic and highlighting the global movement that is rising up in response.

Our plastic problem is also a fossil fuel problem. As the oil and gas industry has seen stockpiles soar and prices plummet, it has doubled down on plans to increase plastic production. That includes trying to get taxpayer money to build a massive complex on the Pennsylvania/Ohio/West Virginia border that would turn fracked gas into plastics – at the expense of local communities and the global climate.

Dig into how stopping dirty energy infrastructure and moving to renewable energy is a critical part of addressing plastic pollution by joining in our post-film conversation with Food & Water Action organizers leading the fights: Organizing Director Emily Wurth, California Director Alex Nagy, New York Senior Organizer Eric Weltman, and Pennsylvania Organizing Manager Megan McDonough.

RSVP to join us for the film and discussion with policy experts and activists.
