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](https://www.breakfreefromplastic.org/) movement, we’re hosting a special online screening of [The Story of Plastic](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-story-of-plastic-film-screening-virtual-conversation-tickets-114305338344), 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](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-story-of-plastic-film-screening-virtual-conversation-tickets-114305338344) happening on July 30, 2020, from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM PHT (8:00 AM – 10:00 AM GMT).**
