Gumbo Limbo Coastal Stewards Presents Free Screening of: “We’re All Plastic People Now”
Documentary Film Investigates the Hidden Story of Plastic and Its Devastating Effects on the World’s Population and Environment
Boca Raton, FL – Gumbo Limbo Coastal Stewards (GLCS), an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that promotes sea turtle and coastal conservation, today announced the exclusive and free Boca Raton screening of “We’re All Plastic People Now,” a film that investigates the hidden story of plastic and its effects on human health, presented by GLCS.
In an era of throw-away ease, convenience has cost us our well-being. Plastics have been found inside our bodies— in our colons, our brains, in developing embryos and even in breast milk. Scientists around the country are sounding the alarm, but without public education and investment, there is little that can be done. The provocative film, “We’re All Plastic People Now,” asks the question, how much evidence do we need before we decide to take action?
“Part of our mission as an organization is to inspire people to support stewardship and I can’t think of a better way than to bring awareness to this gripping issue,” said John Holloway, President & CEO of Gumbo Limbo Coastal Stewards. “Gumbo Limbo Coastal Stewards is proud to bring ‘We’re All Plastic People Now’ and its message to our community, and we hope it inspires many to do their part in protecting our environment.”
