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.


LIFE: PLASTIC WRAPPED


“Only we humans make waste that nature can’t digest.” - Charles Moore. Life: Plastic Wrapped is a collaborative dancefilm by Sasha Chudacoff. It was filmed and edited during March/April 2020 Quarantine. Plastics are making a HUGE comeback due to covid-19. The increase of plastic production and waste has been directly affected by this global pandemic. Through dancefilm and poetry, Sasha "stays with the trouble of plastic" in all its' metaphors in our modern times. Owning her personal participation in the plastic problem and climate catastrophe is part of this story; however now in current times of global pandemic and systematic social change, this piece takes on new layers of complication and depth.


In addition to playing as a part of Narrative Shorts Program 4, LIFE: PLASTIC WRAPPED will play in front of BAIT and THE STORY OF PLASTIC.
