During the January 19 webinar, we did a deep-dive discussion on Flip the Script on Plastics—an initiative to empower the entertainment industry to model real solutions to the plastic pollution crisis, both on set and in storylines.
We were joined by Hollywood activists and artists Yareli Arizmendi, Fran Drescher, and Kyra Sedgwick, following a presentation of the Original report from Dana Weinstein, Project Specialist for the Media Impact Project at the Norman Lear Center, University of Southern California.
We know that life imitates art, and by showing package-free and reusable and refillable systems in popular television shows and movies, we can influence culture and change the perception of toxic throwaway plastic as being normal—because it’s not.

![Love Letter To Plastic [English]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kQR0rALQft0/mqdefault.jpg "Love Letter To Plastic [English]
It’s time to re-examine our toxic relationship with plastic. It may be heartbreaking, but this Valentine’s Day, make a pledge to refuse single-use plastic, for the planet and yourself.
Single-use plastics are items designed to be used only once and then discarded. 40 percent of plastics are created for single-use purposes, yet producing these items consume a significant amount of energy, water, and natural resources to be used for just a few minutes.
The majority of plastic is not recyclable and ends up polluting our oceans, killing wildlife, and harming our ecosystems. Plastics contain endocrine disruptors that are known to be harmful to human health. Plastic production and lack of plastic waste management disproportionately harms BIPOC communities.
This is a toxic relationship that we must end. We deserve better and so does the planet. Take the pledge and refuse single-use plastic! Visit www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org to make your pledge.
