Are you sick of seeing polluting plastic on your favorite shows? We are too! We’re introducing The Begley-Cohen Test to help address plastic pollution in the media. Now whether you are creating content or consuming it, you can quickly assess the representation and prevalence of single-use plastic on screen.
Named after Ed Begley Jr., Actor and Environmental Steward, and Dianna Cohen, artivist & Plastic Pollution Coalition Co-Founder & CEO, The Begley-Cohen Test gives plastics a pass or fail on your choice of TV shows or movies.
Here’s how it works. A film or TV show passes The Begley-Cohen Test if…
1. No single-use plastics appear on screen (i.e., the film/show is set in a time with no plastic, or plastics are replaced with refillable, reusable, or package-free options), or…
2. If a single-use plastic item appears on screen, it is portrayed or discussed as problematic.
Learn more about how Plastic Pollution Coalition and Notable Members Ed Begley Jr., Alfre Woodard, Jeff Bridges, Fran Drescher, and Kyra Sedgwick are helping to #FlipTheScriptOnPlastics in Hollywood. Visit www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org.
