Movie Screening: "The Story Of Plastic"
In honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, join Minneapolis Climate Action and MN Renewable Now for this FREE virtual community screening of newly released award-winning documentary "The Story of Plastic."
Join us after for a discussion with MN State Rep. Frank Hornstein, a champion of zero waste and climate change legislation, Jenna Grove, from Clean Water Action and more TBA.
As you know, a certain global situation has impacted in-person events taking place this spring. However, we have found a virtual solution. In this unprecedented moment, it’s critical to ensure the voices of activists and marginalized communities are heard to stand up to big oil and businesses perpetuating the plastic crisis. Stories and film have a unique
ability to bridge divides and bring us together as part of something bigger than ourselves – to connect us and create empathy during perilous times.
"The Story of Plastic" takes a sweeping look at the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on the health of our planet and the people who inhabit it. Watch, share, reflect, and take action to end the plastic crisis. We want you to leave the event with actions to take at the individual, city and state level and ways to hold corporations accountable.
