Finally got around to watch this documentary, and gotta say I'm impressed by it. I am normally quite skeptical towards exposé style documentaries. as they are normally quite biased or tilted, and tend to fall towards generalizations.

However, in "Addicted to Plastic" the facts are given to you as it is. Rather than just showing viewers the harmful effects of plastic to the environments and all, it shows you the fuller picture. You end up with a fairly light-hearted documentary, with a humour sprinkled in, that is informative for all, and filled with solutions.

By the end of the 1.5hrs, audience are left to find it within themselves. You could be just a consumer, or a designer, or even a manufacturer, and there will be something to take away from it all. Indeed, there is a sense of hope. This is a growing global issue, and thus, its only natural that actions have to be taken at all different levels of the community.



PS: I guess as a blogger, the question I have here is, how many of you, the readers, will actually watch it, and take an active step to share it over your social media outlets? Be be twitter, facebook, bloggers etc.

We are already sharing/spamming these social outlets daily with all forms of entertainment/LULZ/crap/jokes/quotes/photos. But when it comes to something meaningful as this, will be take the time to share it? Will we take such steps towards changing our society for the better?
