Program Description

Event Details

A Plastic Ocean documents the newest science, proving how plastics, once they enter the oceans, break up into small particles that enter the food chain where they attract toxins like a magnet. These toxins are stored in seafood’s fatty tissues, and eventually consumed by us. 

Each year 8 million tons of plastic ends up in our oceans. We can solve this problem and we can do it by educating and engaging everyone in a conversation to rethink plastic.
