 Screening of 'The Story of Plastic'\n\nThe fossil fuel industry plans to 
 increase plastic production by at least 35% by 2025, 40% of which is 
 single-use packaging designed to be immediately discarded. Only 2% is 
 effectively recycled. That’s a lot of CO2 flowing through the 
 economy.\n\n'The Story of Plastic' takes a sweeping look at the man-made 
 crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on the health 
 of our planet and the people who inhabit it. Spanning three continents, the 
 film illustrates the ongoing catastrophe: 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. 
 \n\n'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 smothering ecosystems and poisoning communities around 
 the world, and the global movement that is rising up in response. \n\nWith 
 engaging original animation, archival industry footage beginning in the 
 1930s, and first-person accounts of the unfolding emergency, the film 
 distills a complex problem that is increasingly affecting the planet’s 
 and its residents’ 
 well-being.\n__________________________________________________________\n\nIf
