Did you know?? Plastic has been found everywhere from the deepest part of the ocean and remote mountain ranges to our bodies – even in our lungs and blood? This film asks the pertinent question: how much evidence do we need before we decide to take action?
“Rory Fielding’s documentary ‘We Are All Plastic People Now’ shows the chilling reality of how pervasive plastic pollution is in our lives. Plastic is everywhere from the air we breathe to the water we drink. Solving the plastic pollution crisis requires that we curb plastic production and cut off the problem at the source. Americans are sick of plastic pollution; 83% of American voters are concerned about single-use plastic products. Reuse and refill systems are the alternatives we need to move us away from throwaway single-use plastics. The future can include less plastic if we turn off the tap and invest in reuse together.” – Christy Leavitt, Oceana Plastics Campaign Director
