Join the Environmental Consulting Organization at the University of Michigan (ECO-UM) for this unique experience. The Story of Plastic is a searing exposé revealing the ugly truth behind plastic pollution and the false solution of plastic recycling. Different from every other plastic documentary you’ve seen, The Story of Plastic presents a cohesive timeline of how we got to our current global plastic pollution crisis and how the oil and gas industry has successfully manipulated the narrative around it. From the extraction of fossil fuels and plastic disposal to the global resistance fighting back, The Story of Plastic is a life-changing, Emmy-winning film depicting one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues.

This event is part of ZeroWaste.org's University of Michigan Zero Waste Challenge. You can join the challenge here: zerowaste.org/umich.

This screening is presented by the Environmental Consulting Organization at the University of Michigan (ECO-UM), LiveZeroWaste, and the Unviersity of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).
