Join Oceana, Mothers Out Front & Concord Library for a free screening of the new documentary We’re All Plastic People Now by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Rory Fielding about the global plastic pollution crisis featuring Oceana’s own Plastics Campaign Director Christy Leavitt and Oceana board member Ted Danson. The film shows the chilling reality of how pervasive plastic pollution is in our lives. Plastic is everywhere from the air we breathe to the water we drink.  

Solving the plastic pollution crisis requires that we curb single-use plastic production and cut off the problem at the source. Reuse and refill systems can move us away from throwaway plastics. The future can include less plastic if we turn off the tap and invest in non-toxic reuse together.

Following the film there will be time for brief Q&A, and participants will be encouraged to “take action” by calling their MA House Representatives asking them to vote in support of priority legislation aimed at reducing plastic pollution before the end of the Legislative session (July 31st)!
