We are big fans of Algalita and the the good work they do by bringing attention to the negative impacts of single-use plastic products that are now ubiquitous throughout the planet.
Single use plastic products find their way into our rivers and wetlands, where they can harm wildlife. That’s why the Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust supported Long Beach’s ban on single use plastic bags and later styrofoam products when they came before the City Council. Recently, Long Beach went even further and banned the use of single-use plastic straws, which can also be devastating to wildlife. Plastic is everywhere, and it is harming our planet as it is harming us humans who have become far too dependent on this convenient man-made substance.
Algalita will be hosting a screening of the long-awaited documentary, The Story of Plastic, at the Long Beach Art Theatre on Monday, March 2, 2020 at 8:00PM.
This film shows a whole new side of the story of plastic, and it’s going to change the way we talk about plastic. I urge you to make the time to see this film. I’ll be there and hope you will too!
