About The Event
STRAWS
....a 32 minute documentary by filmmaker Linda Booker released in Spring 2017. Half a billion non-recyclable plastic straws get used every day in the USA, ending up in landfills and on streets and beaches. Academy Award-winning actor Tim Robbins narrates and turtle researchers, community activists and business owners discuss a sea of change happening, one straw at a time.
Along with the documentary the Carolina Nature Coalition hosted four local poets.
