Plastic pollution is a growing global health and environmental crisis we cannot

Rory Fielding’s ‘We’re All Plastic People Now’ shows how prevalent plastic pollution is

in our lives. Plastic is everywhere from the depths of the ocean to the air we breathe

and the water we drink. The Minderoo-Monaco Commission on Plastics and Human

Health (March 2023) states, ”It is now clear that current patterns of plastic production, use,

and disposal are not sustainable and are responsible for significant harms to human

health, the environment, and the economy as well as for deep societal injustices.”

“The future can include a world with less plastic if we stop the flow of needless single-

use plastic and invest in reusable systems together,” said Christy Leavitt, campaign

director for Oceana who is featured in the film.
