Be part of the pollution solution this July!

Turn the tide, one choice at a time.

Plastic Free July® is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution – so we can have cleaner streets, waterways, beautiful communities, and healthier bodies. It's about learning to make small changes. Choose one single-use plastic to avoid and you’ll soon discover another…and another great solution. The City of West Palm Beach Office of Sustainability is offering FREE customized Plastic Free Challenge Kits to City of West Palm Beach residents and a FREE film screening that is open to everyone! Registration is required. Plastic Free Challenge Kits are available to City of West Palm Beach residents and businesses.

 

The FREE film screening of We're All Plastic People Now will be on July 1 begin at 6:30 p.m. inside the Cox Science Center and Aquarium theater. The film is an hour long and we plan to have a short panel discussion afterwards. Everyone is encouraged to attend, but please register to let us know if you will be staying for the film as we want to make sure we have enough seats!

 

We’re All Plastic People Now is an Emmy Winning documentary introduced by Ted Danson and featured at the 2024 Santa Fe Film Festival. It’s in the air. It’s in the water. In an era of throw-away ease, plastic has cost us our well-being. It’s been found inside our bodies, our colons, our brains, in breast milk and developing wombs. Now, it’s even in our hearts. This groundbreaking film, for the first time ever, tests the producer’s blood and four generations of family members for chemicals derived from plastic. The results are alarming.
