Tuesday, Nov. 29th, 2016– Addicted to Plastic.

From Styrofoam cups to artificial organs, plastics are perhaps the most ubiquitous and versatile material ever invented. No invention in the past 100 years has had more influence and presence that synthetics. But such progress has had a cost. For better and for worse, no ecosystem or segment of human activity has escaped the shrink-wrapped grasp of plastic. This film is a global journey to investigate what we really know about the material of a thousand uses and why there’s so darn much of it. Film by Ian Connacher. (~45 minutes)
