This film investigates the hidden story of plastic and its effects on human health. A panel discussion with representatives of Oceana, ALO of LBI, and the LBI Health Dept. follows the film.

Introduced by actor and environmentalist Ted Danson, the documentary film We're All Plastic Now examines plastic pollution's toxic effect on our lives. In an era of throw-away ease, convenience has cost us our well-being. We're All Plastic People Now asks the question, how much evidence do we need before we decide to take action? 56 minutes. Rating: NR

A panel discussion with John Weber of Oceana, Amy Williams of Alliance for a Living Ocean, and Daniel Krupinski of the LBI Health Department will follow the film. Light refreshments will be provided by the Garden Club of LBI.

Please visit oceana.org to learn about this international organization focused solely on protecting and restoring oceans on a global scale. Since its founding, Oceana has won more than 325 victories and protected over 4 million square miles of ocean.
