The Plastic Country: Film Screening and Panel Discussion at University of Newcastle - Citizen COP

University of Newcastle, VG01

Australia has a plastic problem, and The Plastic Country explores what it will take to fix it. Join them on campus for a free screening of Kal Glanznig's 70-minute feature documentary, which examines Australia's heavy reliance on plastic and the impacts of plastic use. Australians are among the highest per-capita users of plastic in the world. The film will be followed by a 20-minute panel discussion with local voices working across plastics, health and waste, exploring what can be done here in Newcastle: at home, on campus and through policy. Panellists to be announced. Stay on afterwards to meet the panel and connect with other attendees. Free and open to everyone: students, staff and the wider Newcastle community. Registration is essential. Presented with the support of CIFAL Newcastle and The Full Circle Collective. Held as part of Citizen COP alongside COP31.
