A free screening of We’re All Plastic People Now an Emmy award winning
documentary film followed by a panel discussion with Jeremy Drake, local and national
Zero Waste Consultant and Youpa Stein, Volunteer Co-Chair Families for a Livable
Climate Plastics Working Group. We’re All Plastic People Now is an Emmy Award-
winning documentary, with an introduction by actor and environmentalist, Ted Danson,
that investigates the hidden story of plastic and its effects on human health. We’re All
Plastic People Now is centered around the question “how much evidence do we need
before we decide to take action?”
The ground-breaking feature documentary Plastic People investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health. Almost every bit of plastic ever made breaks down into “microplastics.” These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, and mix into the soil, becoming a permanent part of the environment.
