現在還有什麼東西不用塑料做？塑料在任何家庭中都已經成為最普通的物品——它便宜，用途多樣而且耐用。然而塑料是不可生物降解的，並且雖然它看起來容易丟棄，許多種塑料並不容易回收，所以大多數塑料物品註定將永遠成為垃圾。更糟的是，塑料加工經常產生有毒廢物，處理廢品塑料產品的方式是隱藏問題——大規模的陸地堆填和海洋傾倒，而不是解決它。影片製作人IanConnacher探尋了不負責任的成癮的塑料使用所造成全球環境影響的後果。Whatisn’tmadeofplasticthesedays?Plastichasbecomeoneofthemostcommonplaceitemsinanyhousehold--it’sinexpensive,versatileanddurable.However,thelatterqualityisalsoplastic’sAchilles’Heel--whileit’seasytomakethingsoutofplastic,plasticisnotbiodegradable,andthoughitseemseasytothrowaway,manytypesofplasticaren’teasilyrecyclable,somostplasticitemsaredestinedtobecomegarbagethatlastsforever.Evenworse,plasticmanufacturingoftenproducestoxicwaste,anddisposingofunwantedplasticproductshasresultedinmassivelandfillsandoceandumpsthatsimplyhideaproblemratherthansolvingit.FilmmakerIanConnacherexplorestheglobalenvironmentalconsequencesoftheirresponsibleuseofplasticmaterialsinAddictedToPlastic!TheRiseandDemiseofaModernMiracle,anactivistdocumentarythatexploreshowplasticbecameaninescapablecommodityandhowwecan(andwhywemust)weanourselvesoffofit.AddictedToPlasticwasanofficialselectionatthe2008VancouverFilmFestival.AfilmbyIanConnacher,CrypticMothProductions.Awardwinningdocumentaryrevealsthehistoryandworldwidescopeofplasticspollution,investigatesitstoxicityandexploressolutions.BullfrogFilms.85minutes.
