Thank you for joining us at the Story of Plastic virtual screening! We hope you walked away with new information to share with your friends and family, and inspiration to do your part to end the plague of plastic pollution on our Bay and waterways around the world. Save The Bay has led local and regional campaigns to stop plastic pollution for over a decade, but the Story of Plastic has made us think about our role in new ways.

In the meantime, there are still actions we can all take now to keep plastic pollution out of our Bay.
Are you ready to be part of the solution? Take our Plastic Free July pledge and be leader in your family, friend circle, and community in reducing plastic waste and water pollution.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by these changes? Just remember: every action counts, no matter how small. If everyone committed to just one of these shifts in our daily habits, we would see big results.

You can find another virtual screening or rent the film on Amazon.
