Later in the month, on Thursday October 25th we will be co-hosting a showing of the documentary, Bag It: Is Your Life Too Plastic at the United Church of Christ in Medfield.
We are presenting the film along with the Medfield Plastic Bag Reduction Initiative Committee which is part of the Transfer Station and Recycling Committee. The event is free and open to the public.
The movie follows Jeb, an average American who wonders what happens to a plastic bag when it is discarded. What is the cost to our environment, marine life and human health? If you find yourself asking similar questions then please join us.
Any questions regarding either event please contact Helen Dewey hdewey@comcast.net.
