Plastic pollution and the climate crisis

Jenny Tuazon

Have you ever wondered how the plastic pollution crisis is directly connected to the fossil fuel industry and to the climate breakdown?

Together with the #breakfreefromplastic movement, we’re hosting a special online screening of The Story of Plastic, an award-winning documentary that presents the inextricable links between plastic pollution and climate crises. The film shows a cohesive timeline of how we got into the current global plastic pollution crisis and how the oil and gas industry has manipulated the narrative around it.

Check out this teaser:

Plastic production contributes to greenhouse gas emissions at every stage of its lifecycle, from production to refining and the way it is managed as a waste product.

To understand the big picture better, we invite you to join our online screening of the Story of Plastic happening on July 30, 2020, from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM PHT (8:00 AM – 10:00 AM GMT).

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with a panel featuring speakers that will share how we can foster a Just Recovery and Transition to zero-waste and fossil-free communities in Asia.
