Environmental Film Festival- Ripples of Plastic

Presented as part of The Elements: An Annual Environmental Film Series, a screening of Ripples of Plastic will take place on Saturday, January 31 at 2:00 p.m.  As always, the film is open to the public and free of charge.  The screening will take place at Russell Library.

As described on the film's website, Ripples of Plastic is on an eye-opening journey through the unseen impacts of plastic pollution in the Great Lakes region. Guided by Dr. Sherri Mason and other regional voices, viewers will witness the vast extent of contamination pathways, effects of microplastics, and the unexpected toll on human health. Beyond individual action, the film inspires a collective movement for transformative progress toward a plastic-free future. You can watch the film trailer here.  

A facilitated discussion will follow the film.
