Is this event family-friendly?

Yes. This event is free and open to the public. The film is appropriate for adults, teens, and older children. Younger kids are welcome, though the content may feel heavy for them.

Do I need to attend the entire event?

You’re welcome to join for just the film, the panel and postcarding activities, or both. Of course, we’d love for you to stay the whole time if you can.

What if I don’t know much about reuse or microplastics?

That’s completely fine —this event is designed to inform, spark conversation, and share solutions. All levels of knowledge are welcome.

Will I have a chance to take action at the event?

Yes! We’ll provide postcards you can sign to urge local legislators to support reuse policies, plus opportunities to connect with local coalitions.
