Plastic Beach / Call to action

Update #6 · Jul 11, 2012 · 2 comments

Hello everyone and thank you so much for your support. 

We wanted to share with you this disturbing video captured by our team on Midway. A beach "cleanup" quickly reveals both the real magnitude of the plastic pollution problem and the shocking fact that we humans are also eating plastic junk, not only figuratively, but quite literally as well.

**CALL TO ACTION** Over 1,100 donors have pledged close to $75,000. Thank you so much!! With only 6 days to go (!!) it is critical to enlist more donors as soon as possible! Please send the Kikstarter link

to your contacts on facebook and/or by email. We really need a final push to reach our goal! Your help is essential to us. Thank you so much!!

The Midway Team

      Congratulations on all of your accomplishments. My husband and I met Jan at the TEDX event in Kelowna after being deeply moved by his presentation. We feel that your contributions are so important and will go far in changing the way humans around the planet think about our garbage. We wish you all the best in the coming months and your completion of the film. Thanks for your inspiration.
