The Story of Plastic Webinar Series for Educators
Want to engage your students virtually around a multidiscipliary and urgent environmental issue? This webinar series will walk you through a set of resources we’ve designed for this moment.
This program is free of cost and designed for virtual education.
You can join the live webinars or watch the recordings at a later time to fit your curriculum and class schedule.
Plastic pollution is a multidisciplinary environmental problem that connects to the biggest issues of our time: climate change as well as racial and environmental injustices. We need these issues to be connected in the minds of our youth, and we need to address them seriously.
Plastic is everywhere. And here’s the reason why.
By acclaimed filmmaker and CBFF favorite, Deia Schlosberg, THE STORY OF PLASTIC reframes the global plastic crisis as one of a failing capitalistic system, where corporations prey upon the poor and place profits above the planet’s well-being. The film introduces audiences to the heroes and the villains behind one of the world's most pressing environmental issues, from the extraction of fossil fuels to plastic disposal and the global resistance that's fighting back.
Directed by CBFF alumna Deia Schlosberg (HOW TO LET GO OF THE WORLD: AND LOVE ALL THE THINGS CLIMATE CAN’T CHANGE, 2016).
This film has been generously sponsored by Mike Sfalcin and Lynn Norman.
