DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 3rd San Francisco Green Film Festival for this special free 
 event!\n\n'Plastic Paradise' (57 mins) - Travel with filmmaker Angela Sun 
 to Midway Atoll, a remote island in the Pacific, as she seeks to uncover 
 the mystery behind the island of garbage that everyone has heard of but no 
 one truly understands. What she discovers is the Great Pacific Garbage 
 Patch, an island littered with plastics, causing great harm not only to our 
 beaches, oceans, and sea life, but to ourselves. Midway sees 20 tons of 
 plastic trash wash ashore each year and as we watch her sift through 
 ordinary household items among the debris – reusable coffee mugs, flip 
 flops, lighters, even a computer monitor – we find ourselves 
 uncomfortably complicit. This film tackles a seriously daunting problem 
 with high energy and humor, archival footage, and animation as it tracks 
 down the who, what, where and why of this phenomena. Along the way Sun 
 speaks to scientists, environmental activists, the plastic bag guy, marine 
 researchers, plastics industry representatives, even Jack Johnson, to get a 
 sense of how our obsession with plastic began, where it all went wrong and 
 how we can fix it. http://plasticparadisemovie.com/\n\nDiscussion following 
 films.\n\nWhile we particularly encourage youth participants, all are 
 welcome to attend this free festival program.\n\nInfomation:
