REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyle Watch a DocumentaryWhich documentary did you choose to watch? What did you learn?
Marissa Perez-Dormitzer 7/12/2019 1:58 PMLast night we watched A Plastic Ocean which I had already seen, but my kids hadn't. My 6 year old son was shocked to see the affects of plastic on marine life and said that everyone should stop using plastic. 90% of sea birds have consumed pieces of plastic. It also helped renew my commitment. Plastic is in the air; it's in the ocean; and it's now in our bodies. I have the DVD and would be glad to lend it to anyone in the area who is interested.
