Back in late September (I’m playing catchup on this journal) an amazing thing happened. The Story Of Plastic won an Emmy for Outstanding Documentary Writing! The honor belongs first to the heroes in the film who shared their stories and work to move the world towards a livable future. I’m incredibly grateful to them, to the fantastic filmmaking team I got to work alongside, and to all the partnering organizations that made it possible, including Discovery for broadcasting and putting the film up for the award. As Shibu says in the film, we need “a spirit of unity across boundaries, because these toxins do not understand political boundaries...a circular economy is possible.” Here’s to all those who help us #breakfreefromplastic and to seeing the end of a fossil fuel economy in our lifetime.
