Save-the-Date: NOV 5TH | Film Screening & Community Conversation on Plastic Waste

Save-the-Date: NOV 5TH |  Film Screening & Community Conversation on Plastic Waste

Hosted by the Interfaith Committee of the Cape Ann Climate Coalition  (CACC)

Join us Wednesday, November 5 at the @shalinliuperformancecenter in Rockport for a special screening of award-winning Plastic People Documentary —

directed by Ben Addelman and co-directed by science journalist Ziya Tong (featured in photo) — a powerful and eye-opening look at the global challenge of plastic pollution.

🕕 Doors Open: 6:15 PM

🎥 Program Begins: 7:00 PM

💬 Followed by: Panel discussion & Q&A with local leaders on how we can reduce waste, recycle smarter, and take action in our communities.

This event is free and open to the public — no registration required!

The film is sobering and deeply thought-provoking — and post-film discussion will focus on solutions: reducing plastic use, expanding composting and recycling, and rethinking what we throw away.

🧾 A “Reducing Your Plastic Footprint” handout will be available at the event and later on the CACC website — where community members can continue sharing new ideas to help protect our environment.

🚗 Parking Tips:

Please carpool if possible | Meters are enforced until 6 PM | Avoid resident-only spots to prevent tickets
