The Story of Plastic is a searing expose, uncovering the ugly truth behind plastic pollution and the false solution of plastic recycling. Different from every other plastic documentary you’ve seen, The Story of Plastic presents a cohesive timeline of how we got to our current global plastic pollution crisis and how the oil and gas industry has successfully manipulated the narrative around it. From the extraction of fossil fuels and plastic disposal to the global resistance fighting back, The Story of Plastic is a life changing film depicting one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues.
The webinar above was put together by a group of volunteers with expertise in the field of Zero Waste, called Zero Waste Petaluma. Learn about the industry of plastic and it’s impact on our environment. The panel discussion, which took place on August 28, 2020, included the City of Petaluma, Recology, Zero Waste Sonoma, and Renewable Sonoma.
