Environment looks at the significant problems posed
by plastic straws (non-biodegradability, potential to
harm wildlife, contribution to microplastic pollution, widespread use, and recycling challenges) and recent advocacy for reducing their use. - Oct 9: Plastic Earth is a 2023 documentary that
follows concerned mother Janice Overbeck as she
explores the global plastic crisis and the solutions
being developed to address it through interviews with
scientists, engineers, researchers, and innovators. - Oct 16: New Farms, Big Success! follows three farms
in the United States and Canada that are ecologically
responsible and avoid industrial food production. The
farms have unique business plans that eliminate the
middleman and use sustainable methods. - Oct 23: 10 Towns that Changed America focuses on
ten experimental towns that didn’t evolve organically
over time, but instead were designed (or redesigned)
from the ground up by visionary architects, corporations, and citizens seeking to change lives
through architecture, design, and urban planning.
