The award-winning film “A Plastic Ocean” is both eye-opening and inspirational, compelling, telling the story of plastic garbage fouling the ocean with unflinching detail that becomes an eye-opening call to action.
Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, in cooperation with the City of Tacoma and the University of Washington Tacoma, has arranged a free public mini-screening of the documentary on April 19 in William Philip Hall on the UWT campus, 1918 Pacific Ave.
The condensed version of the film will be followed by fast-paced discussion about how scientists, environmentalists and others are taking action to combat the increasing threat of 8 million tons of plastic – a garbage truck’s worth each minute - pouring into the ocean each year.
