SINGLE-USE PLANET is an investigation into the production of single-use plastic products and the consequences.
About this Event

Narrated by Peter Coyote, SINGLE-USE PLANET features entertaining animation and musical interludes that help illustrate the connections between public health, plastics production, and industry influence on government policy.

Plastic is vital in so many ways to our modern way of life and well-being — but not all forms of it. In search of why more and more single-use plastic debris enters the ocean despite all efforts to recycle, SINGLE-USE PLANET goes upstream to where millions of tons of raw plastic are being made amidst the ruins of America's bygone steel industry in Pennsylvania.

Further upstream, we see the economic and political realities that have boosted the new industry — realities reaching all the way to rural Louisiana where plans are laid to build the biggest plastic plant in the world. Can the powerful industry be persuaded to temper their production of single-use plastic? Our search leads to Washington D.C. — where a federal bill to regulate the industry remains stalled — and finally to France, where the prohibition of campaign donations by corporations may provide a key to the effective reduction of plastic pollution.


Location: Virtual, open to stream at any time on March 26th-28th. A link to view the film will be emailed to you directly from Sustainable Woodstock on the first day of the screening.

Free Event. Donations are welcome and go to support our local arts community. Make donations at https://pentanglearts.org/get-involved/donations/

Hosted by Sustainable Woodstock and Pentangle Arts. Made possible by our underwriters VERMONT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION and MASCOMA BANK and sponsors Ellaway Group, The Unicorn, and Mark Knott DDS.
