🎬 Family Eco Movie Night - Watch an Inspiring Doc & Chat About Plastic Pollution
Watch an Inspiring Doc & Chat About Plastic Pollution
What’s better than a cozy night on the couch with your favorite people, a big bowl of popcorn, and a movie? 🎥
How about a movie that makes you laugh, learn, and love the Earth even more?
Today’s Plastic-Free Challenge is all about hosting a Family Eco Movie Night—where we watch something inspiring and chat about how to take better care of our planet.
🎞️ Why Movie Night Matters
Watching an eco-friendly documentary or film helps you:
-
See what’s really happening to our oceans and animals
-
Learn how plastic pollution hurts nature
-
Get ideas for how YOU can help (even in small ways!)
And the best part? You get to talk about it afterward with your family and maybe even plan a change together!
