** Washington State premiere! Co-presented with Sustainable Seattle, with guest speaker Lyda Harris! **
Fifth-graders from PS 15 in Red Hook, Brooklyn — a community on the frontline of Climate Change that was severely impacted by Superstorm Sandy — spent two years investigating plastic pollution. Taking on the roles of citizen scientists, community leaders, and advocates, these 10- and 11- year-olds collect local data, lead community outreach, and use their impressive data to inform policy, testifying and rallying at City Hall. With stop-motion animation, heartfelt kid commentary and interviews of experts and renowned scientists, this youth-driven narrative conveys an urgent, take-action message to spark youth-led plastic-free action in schools everywhere.
