Program Description
Event Details
The theme for Earth Day 2025 is our power, our planet. Knowledge is power so we'll start this event with a screening of the Plastic People, a documentary that investigates the lasting effects of plastic on our bodies and world. After the film we'll create seed bombs using the seeds of native, pollinator-friendly plants. This program is intended for people ages 12 and up, no registration required.
About the film:
The award-winning feature documentary Plastic People investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health. Almost every bit of plastic ever made breaks down into “microplastics.” These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, and mix into the soil, becoming a permanent part of the environment.
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?
