Description: With the rate of plastic pollution in oceans increasing at an alarming rate, our beaches are on route to be less peaceful and more polluted. By the Sea gives us a dystopian idea of what our beaches might look like in the future, if we continue at this rate. Plastic is a revolutionary material. It’s durable, it’s affordable, it’s multi-functional - and it has pushed our planet to the brink of one of the worst environmental crises in modern history. After two years of research, we are ready to introduce WHY PLASTIC - a campaign that features short films, events and three documentaries investigating new aspects of our lives with plastic. WHY PLASTIC aims to uncover the myths and misconceptions around plastic, separating facts from fiction. The films will be broadcast all over the world through our partners BBC, DR, SVT, CBC, NRK and NHK, among many others. Creator: Lynn Bianchi Intro animation by: Anna Sobczyk Shortlisted for the Odense Film Festival's WHY PLASTIC short film competition. This film is part of the WHY PLASTIC? Series.
