Some Agenda Items for May 2025 Meeting

Plastic People
DOCUMENTARY ON MICROPLASTICS
A must-see film, Plastic People explores our immense reliance on single-use plastics and the threat of microplastic waste to human health. Microplastics are found in the air, water, soil, and now the human body.
To watch a trailer and keep track of future screenings in Illinois, visit Plastic People Documentary – The Hidden Crisis of Microplastics.

Open Discussion
HELP US PRESERVE, IMPROVE, REVITALIZE
Environmental activism works by people sharing their skills, knowledge, and concerns with others. Involvement of ordinary citizens is what gets things done, not the public waiting for federal or state governments to step up first.
