We are pleased to offer this brief interview with Craig Leeson, director of our award-winning documentary A Plastic Ocean. Craig is a fourth generation media professional, having worked in print, radio, television and film. He has produced award-winning results for such media outlets as CNN, National Geographic Channel and the BBC. He plays in a rock and roll band, surfs the waves of the world and is self-professed addict of macadamia nuts.
We are honored to have recently received a statement of support from iconic thought leader, Professor Noam Chomsky, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
In 2014 the State of California passed the United State’s first statewide ban on single-use plastic grocery bags. Obviously, a major victory for all of us working so hard to eradicate our human addiction to single-use plastic. Well, not so fast. Big Plastic is at it again, this time spending millions of dollars to reverse the ban before it becomes law.
We are the Plastic Generation. This material is in all aspects of our daily lives. We use plastic because of its qualities – flexible, durable, in packaging protecting food and consumer products, as components in all our household goods and cars.
