The Story of Plastic – Write to a Hero in the Film

We’re all in this together and it’s important that we show each other support!

The heroes in the film are people who have dedicated a lot of their life to addressing the issue of plastic pollution and the negative impacts on humans. Find a list of the heroes in the film and people who made the film here.

1. Watch The Story of Plastic documentary.
2. After watching the documentary, write a letter to one of the people in the film who you’d like to connect with. 
3. Send your letter to us so we can pass it on to the hero. Upload the email, text, or a picture of your handwritten letter in the Track section below. You can also send us the original hand-written copy in the mail, addressed to: Algalita, 148 N. Marina Dr. Long Beach, CA 90803, or send an email version to wayfinder@algalita.org.
