Microplastics are everywhere—in our air, water, food, and even our bodies. But what does this mean for our health, and what can we do about it? Following the film, a panel of health, policy, and environmental advocacy experts will discuss the urgent need for action on plastic pollution and how we can protect both human and planetary health.

What to Expect:

• Exclusive Screening – Watch Plastic People, an eye-opening documentary on plastic pollution.
• Expert Panel Discussion – Hear from specialists in law, research, and public health.
• Connect & Take Action – Meet local organizations in the lobby and discover ways to get involved.

She is also an environmental lawyer and law reform manager with Ecojustice Canada, where she leads the Circular Economy project, advocating for federal plastic pollution regulations and participating in the international plastics treaty negotiations.
• Dr. David Locky is a wetland ecologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at MacEwan University. His research focuses on ecology, biogeochemistry, and environmental policy, with expertise in both natural and human impacts on ecosystems. One of his current projects examines the incidence of microplastics in aquatic environments.
