Strandliners invites you to a free online screening of the film, The Story of Plastic. This award-winning documentary investigates global plastic pollution and recycling.
Different from any other documentary you’ve seen, The Story of Plastic presents a cohesive timeline of how we got to our current global plastic pollution crisis and how the oil and gas industry has successfully manipulated the narrative around it. From the extraction of fossil fuels and plastic disposal to the global resistance fighting back, The Story of Plastic is a life-changing film, depicting one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues.
You are then invited to join Strandliners for a Zoom discussion at 7pm on Monday 31st July. We will be looking at what we can do at a local level. Is beach cleaning and litter picking enough? Is recycling enough?
