We are rightfully concerned about the effects of plastic pollution in our global community. To spread awareness of this environmental and human rights threat, Zero Waste Arlington is hosting a screening of The Story of Plastic, a documentary by The Story of Stuff Project. The film is a seething expose uncovering the ugly truth behind the current global plastic pollution crisis. Striking footage shot over three continents illustrates the ongoing catastrophe: fields full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash; rivers and seas clogged with waste; and skies choked with the poisonous runoff from plastic production and recycling processes with no end in sight. Original animations, interviews with experts and activists, and never-before-filmed scenes reveal the disastrous consequences of the flood of plastic smothering ecosystems and poisoning communities around the world – and the global movement rising up in response.
