Introduced by actor and environmentalist Ted Danson, “We’re All Plastic People Now” investigates the hidden story of plastic and its effects on human health. In an era of throw-away ease, convenience has cost us our well-being. Plastics have been found inside our bodies— in our colons, our brains, in developing embryos and even breast milk. Scientists around the country are sounding the alarm, but without public education and buy-in, there is little that can be done. “We’re All Plastic People Now” asks the question, how much evidence do we need before we decide to take action?
