THE STORY OF PLASTIC takes a sweeping look at the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on the health of our planet and the people who inhabit it. Spanning three continents, the film illustrates the ongoing catastrophe: fields full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash, rivers and seas clogged with waste, and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from plastic production and processing.

This discussion of the movie the Story of Plastic was with a panel of experts including:

Brian Bodenbender, Professor of Geology & Environmental Science Hope College, Geological & Environmental Science Department Chair

Molly Sherwood, Environmental Compliance Manager, Kent County Dept. of Public Works

Lauren Westerman, Resource recovery specialist, Kent County Recycling and Education Center
