(SURF CITY, NJ) – The Long Beach Island Branch of the Ocean County Library will host a screening of the documentary film We're All Plastic People Now on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at 2:00pm. The film investigates the hidden story of plastic and its effects on human health.
A panel discussion will follow the film, featuring John Weber of Oceana, Amy Williams of Alliance for a Living Ocean, and Daniel Krupinski of the LBI Health Department.
Introduced by actor and environmentalist Ted Danson, the film examines plastic pollution’s toxic effect on our lives. In an era of throw-away ease, convenience has cost us our well-being. This film asks the question, how much evidence do we need before we decide to take action?
“The public is increasingly aware of microplastics in the environment, but this film takes a sobering look at what happens when microplastics get into our bodies,” said John Weber, Senior Mid Atlantic Field Representative with Oceana.
