Movie in the Garden!
Join us Monday April 28th at 7:45 (rain date Wednesday April 30th) for a FREE dinner and movie experience in our outdoor garden as we watch this thought-provoking movie.
The award-winning feature documentary Plastic People investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health. Almost every bit of plastic ever made breaks down into “microplastics.” These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, and mix into the soil, becoming a permanent part of the environment.
Now, leading scientists are finding these particles in our bodies: organs, blood, brain tissue, and even the placentas of new mothers. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? And can anything be done about it?
Acclaimed author and science journalist Ziya Tong takes a personal approach by visiting leading scientists around the world and undergoing experiments in her home, on her food, and her body while collaborating with award-winning director Ben Addelman (Discordia, Bombay Calling, Nollywood Babylon, Kivalina v. Exxon) in an urgent call to action for all of us to rethink our relationship with plastic.
The Sustain DuPage Garden is located at 1926 N. Main St. Wheaton behind the main building. Please park near the green garages.

Thank you to all who answered our survey! We will meet Thursday, June 5th, at 7PM in the Sustain DuPage Garden to discuss Nature's Best Hope by Douglas W. Tallamy. This book outlines a grassroots, home-grown approach to conservation. Join us to discuss how homeowners can turn their yards into conservation corridors to provide wildlife habitats. Several libraries in our area have copies of this book.
