ELORA – The documentary Plastic People: The Hidden Crisis of Microplastics is coming for one show only at the Gorge Cinema in Elora and Save Our Water is inviting the public to watch and learn.
The film will screen Oct. 6 at 2pm.
Save Our Water calls it “a highly recommended, well researched documentary.”
About 1.5 billion plastic bottles are purchased daily world wide and production is actually increasing despite the negative effects of microplastics, officials say.
Plastics break down but never disappear entirely.
Every bit of plastic ever produced remains in our soil, air and water. We eat it, breathe it and drink it, officials say.
“Save Our Water continues to oppose fresh, clean groundwater from the deep bedrock under Centre Wellington being blasted into plastic water bottles creating an unhealthy product unfit for the environment or for our bodies,” they say.
Because of bottled water companies like BlueTriton, water from Hillsburgh and Aberfoyle travels all across Canada inside millions of plastic water bottles.
If you can’t make the Elora screening, the film will be shown at the Bookshelf in Guelph on Oct. 17.
