The Plastic Project is a people-focused video series created in collaboration with the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE), Environmental Defence and Breast Cancer Action Quebec. This project is a series that illustrates three key components of the plastic pollution crises:

1) The "Lifecycle" of Plastic: Cradle to Grave;
2) Plastic and Human Health; and
3) Plastic and Climate Change.

The aim of this project is to bring to light the many ways in which plastic – from the extraction of oil in unceded territories to the exportation of plastic waste to the global south – negatively impacts the health of our environment, our bodies and the climate.
