Every day it seems there is more bad news about the impacts of single-use plastic, including the production of plastic. Sadly, the United States is one of the largest producers of plastic in the world, after China.

Cafeteria Culture produced a film featuring these 5th graders – “Microplastic Madness”. If a small group of young people can make that big of a difference, so can we.
