Movie Buy-Out!
By: Sydney
On November 12th, 2015 the Marine Clean Team will be holding a movie buy-out for the students and staff of NPSS to promote UN Global Goal 14! The purpose of this insightful buy-out event is to not only spread awareness concerning the harmful effects pollution has on the ocean and its wildlife, but to also raise money in order make our own contributions to this cause. Anyone who would like to attend this event is asked to pay a $2.00 admission fee. All the money we accumulate will be donated directly to the World Wildlife Fund’s ocean sector. We will present a brief PowerPoint before and after we show the movie, giving the viewer a deeper understanding of why this cause is so important to our group, as well as why we believe something must be done to spread awareness and raise money for the connections between pollution and the ocean.
The movie being shown is a 50 minute documentary called, “Plasticized.” The documentary is about a sea expedition through the South Atlantic Ocean, with a scientific focus on plastic pollution. “Plasticized” is a very eye-opening film detailing how our pollution, (especially plastic use) has affected the oceans in a negative way. The cause and effect factors of littering or dumping waste in the oceans will also be exhibited in the film.
The movie buy-out will take place in the NPSS cafeteria during 3rd period. Students must be aware that period 3 will fall last period on this date as it will be a flip week. We hope to see many familiar faces come out to support our cause, and the oceans!
