See the movie Plastic Paradise

Join me on December 3rd at 7:30pm to see the documentary “Plastic Paradise” at the Laemmle’s Royal Theatre in West Los Angeles.

As soon as I heard about this movie, I knew I had to see it. Many of us have read about the plastic plague impacting our oceans, but do we really understand the extent of it?

I look forward to testing my knowledge and learning more from watching “Plastic Paradise.” But in order to see the movie, the special event on December 3rd needs to sell 22 more tickets as of the writing of this post.

So support an independent film and find out about the plastic reality facing our oceans by buying tickets to see this movie! Oh, and did I mention there will be a panel discussion with 5 Gyres crew members, Mark Wystrach from The People’s Movement, and the filmmaker Angela Sun.

And if that isn’t enough to convince you…the money raised from ticket sales will support a campaign to draft legislation eliminating plastic microbeads from consumer products. A very worthy cause indeed.

To buy tickets click here, I look forward to seeing you at the movie!

    Anyone young enough to remember the classic movie, The Graduate, starring Dustin Hoffman, Katherine Ross and Anne Bancroft? There is one scene where the young graduate’s father’s friend gave a succinct advice to Hoffman in one word, ‘Plastics.’ Now 46 years later, the legacy is still haunting the world.
