The Plastic Detox: Film Screening and Panel Discussion

***SEATING IS LIMITED***

Join VPIRG, VNRC and VCV for a free screening of the eye-opening new Netflix documentary, The Plastic Detox, which reframes the global plastic problem — a core driver of fossil fuel demand — as an urgent public health issue. Plastic isn’t just a pollution issue. It’s personal. Microplastics and toxic chemicals are in our brains, our blood, and our unborn children – with health risks linked to rising rates of chronic illnesses like cancer. This chemical exposure is harming millions of people’s fertility and stealing their right to a family. Our bodies are no place for plastic.
