Addicted to Plastic

tvc
Like it /or/ not, our recreation relies on thermoplastic material called polyethylene-the largest volume polymer consumed in the world.

Addicted to Plastic - A feature-length documentary (Canada, 2008, 85 mins) about solutions to plastic pollution.

Details: This ‘point of view’ style film encompasses 3 years of filming in 12 countries on 5 continents, including 2 trips to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where plastic debris accumulates. The film details plastic's path over the last hundred years and provides a wealth of expert interviews on practical and cutting- edge solutions to recycling, toxicity and biodegradability. These solutions, which include plastic made from plants, will provide viewers with a hopeful and informative perspective about plastic in our future. Directed & produced by Ian Connacher.

Show Times [DC Enviro Film Fest]: Tonite @ 6:30pm
