Florence Garden Club
readies for springtime
Public invited to film, panel
discussion on plastics pollution
With new restrictions placed on the recycling
of plastics, the topic has raised awareness as
well as concerns about the future impact and
possible consequences.
With that in mind, the Siuslaw News and
KCST/KCFM Coast Radio is inviting the com-
munity to a free screening of “A Plastic Ocean”
on Wednesday, Jan. 10, at City Lights Cinemas.
There will be two showings, at 12:30 p.m. and
6:30 p.m.
A Plastic Ocean is an adventure documentary
shot on more than 20 locations over the past four
years. It features explorers Craig Leeson and
Tanya Streeter along with a team of internation-
al scientists who reveal the causes and conse-
quences of plastic pollution, as well as share
solutions.
Tickets are free, but there are only 230 avail-
able on a first come, first served basis. There is
a limit of two per person, available at the
Siuslaw News, 148 Maple St. in Old Town, and
City Lights Cinemas, 1920 Highway 101.
There will be a short Q&A panel for commu-
nity members after each showing.
This community event is sponsored by
Central Coast Disposal, the City of Florence,
County Transfer & Recycling and Lane County
Waste Management.
