About This Collection
This collection represents the video collections from two organizations. Both have YouTube channels as well as websites for more detailed information.
Launched in January 2019 and based at Bennington College, Beyond Plastics pairs the wisdom and experience of environmental policy experts with the energy and creativity of grassroots advocates to build a vibrant and effective movement to end plastic pollution. We use our deep policy and advocacy expertise to build a well-informed, effective movement seeking to achieve the institutional, economic, and societal changes needed to save our planet, and ourselves, from the negative health, climate, and environmental impacts of the production, usage, and disposal of plastics.
Their expansive global alliance includes more than 1,300 organizations and businesses, and more than 14,000 individuals who have the shared goal of helping to create a more just, equitable, regenerative world free of plastic pollution and its toxic impacts.

Plastic pollution is pervasive, affecting air, soil, and our bodies, while the plastics industry continues to ramp up production. Environmental lawyer Steven Feit discusses how plastics serve as a growth strategy for the petroleum industry, despite a global shift away from fossil fuels. Oceanographer Sarah Jeanne Royer highlights the impact of microplastics on Hawaii's coasts, while retired teacher Sharon Lavigne combats pollution and environmental racism in her community, home to major plastic production facilities. The documentary also features a photojournalist from Kenya raising awareness about single-use plastics and a chemist from Hamburg proposing solutions to the plastics crisis. Are industry leaders taking responsibility for plastic waste? Explore these pressing questions with DW Documentary.
