THE STORY OF PLASTIC takes a sweeping look at the crisis of plastic pollution and its catastrophic harm to all life on our planet. Spanning three continents, the film illustrates the ongoing catastrophe: fields full of garbage, mountains of trash, rivers and seas clogged with waste, and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from plastic production and processing. With engaging original animation, archival industry footage beginning in the 1930s, and first-person accounts of this unfolding emergency, the film distills this complex problem while laying out what corporations as well as individuals need to do.

Along with Sherwood Episcopal & Bazil AME, Faith's Green Team sponsored a viewing of the film Oct 7th - Oct 14th.

On Wed. 14 Oct 2020 we discussed the film, and how it compelled most of us to make personal decisions to reduce the plastic that comes into our homes. We also heard from three local experts about ways to reduce stormwater runoff, and thus debris and other pollution flowing into the Loch Raven Reservoir. Pastor Micah and Faith's Green Team thank all participants and panelists for giving of their time and learning from each other about these important aspects of environmental stewardship.
