Issaquah Movie Night: “Addicted to Plastic”
Continuing the City of Issaquah’s series of free movie nights on sustainability, the documentary “Addicted to Plastic” will be shown Nov. 10, 2009.
The event aims to educate the community about plastics; the effects of plastics on the environment and human health; and the plastics industry.
“Addicted to Plastic” showcases three years of filming in five continents, including two trips to the Pacific Ocean. The documentary explores plastic's history during the last 100 years, as well as current solutions related to recycling and biodegradability.
After the movie, a panel of experts will lead a discussion on plastics and other related environmental topics. Informational tables, as well as refreshments provided by Cedar Grove Composting, will also be available to attendees. In addition, door prizes will be given away after the movie.
