BAG IT DOCUMENTARY FILM SCREENING

Saturday, April 21, 2 p.m., Massachusetts Maritime Academy

Is your life too plastic?  That's the question asked in the award-winning
documentary, Bag It, presented by the Cape Cod Wildlife Collaborative.  What
started as a documentary about plastic bags evolved into a wholesale
investigation into plastics and their effect on our waterways, ocean, and
even our bodies.  Following the film, there will be a panel discussion on
marine debris and its impact on our world's ocean by local scientists,
educators and activists.  FREE.

 

Unless otherwise stated, programs take place at NMLC, 120 Main Street,
Buzzards Bay, MA 02532.

For questions or directions, contact Adele Raphael, (508) 743-9888 x303 or
