Film Screening - Plastic Earth
Monday, DEC 9, at 7 pm

On Monday, Dec. 9, at 7:00 the Lyons Sustainable Futures Commission will be showing the film Plastic Earth. Plastic Earth is a documentary that chronicles the demand for plastics that are present in all aspects of our lives. Using science, the film demonstrates the impact of plastic on our health, our economy, and our future. The film also explores the newest solutions being implemented by innovative individuals and scientists. Along with sustainable solutions in progress, you will learn how you and your family can make better choices to help reduce the plastic problem.

After the movie, Rosie Briggs from EcoCycle will be on hand to answer your questions on local actions to reduce, recycle, and rethink our use of plastics. In addition, there will be updates on the Plastic Pollution Reduction Act and the Producer Responsibility Act, recently passed by the State of Colorado to increase access to recycling in the state. This event is free and at the Lyons Regional Library.
