Join with four local, environmentally-focused organizations that want to make a change to the way we use and dispose of plastic in our community! Hosted by Rogue Heart Media SPC and Spokane Zero Waste, with underwriting by Spokane Riverkeeper and Measure Meant, come to our free event to see the brand-new film that delves into the worrying connection between microplastic pollution and human health. Stay after the screening for a Q&A panel with local environmental and health leaders. All guests are entered to win door prizes!
Waste is at the core of some of the most critical environmental issues. We've spent decades and millions of dollars developing waste management systems that have ingrained waste-making into our culture. Join with these environmentally-focused, local businesses and build community practices that support our health and our environment.
The award-winning feature documentary Plastic People investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health … Now, leading scientists are finding these particles in our bodies: organs, blood, brain tissue, and even the placentas of new mothers. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? And can anything be done about it?
"Plastic People is one of those essential state-of-our-world documentaries.” - Owen Gleiberman, Variety.
This event is hosted by SIMBA members, Spokane Zero Waste, and Rogue Heart Media.
