*[Enwl-eng] A Hive of Constant Motion

[enwl]

Upcoming media releases to get excited about!




                                This spring, The Story of Stuff Project is a 
hive of constant motion, producing storytelling projects that take on the 
plastics crisis, e-waste, fast fashion and more. Here’s what we’ll be 
sharing with you – and asking you to share with your friends and family – in 
the coming months!

                                A Hard Hitting Short Documentary: Burning 
Injustice

                                A subject in Story of Stuff’s Burning 
Injustice explains why a mega polluting incinerator was built in his 
community in California’s Central Valley:

                                “They did this by design. It’s because we’re 
Latino, we’re Spanish-speaking. It’s because we’re a [low-income] farm 
working community, and it’s because it’s environmental racism basically.”

                                Burning Injustice is about a grassroots, 
multigenerational effort to close Covanta Stanislaus, one of California’s 
two remaining incinerators, and usher in a just transition for the 
community – one that invests in a zero waste future.

                                As the Ohio derailment disaster made clear, 
plastic is deadly at every stage of its lifecycle, from when the oil and gas 
leave the well head to its end of life in landfills, incinerators and the 
environment. In fact, burning plastic creates new, super toxins – like 
dioxin, the most toxic man made substance known. Burning Injustice profiles 
a community on the verge of victory as they seek to shut down the 
incinerator for good.

                                The film will be accompanied by an 
engagement campaign developed in concert with the campaign partners, which 
will focus on a secondary target: the corporate clients in Covanta’s 
misleading Zero Waste to Landfill initiative. Spoiler alert: they burn it.

                                Talking Heads on Key Issues

                                Story of Stuff is known for breaking down 
opaque topics into digestible stories that stick, and that’s what the 
explainer videos we’ve got lined up intend to do. First up, we break down 
the Global Plastics Treaty in advance of the next round of negotiations in 
May. We’re planning an Earth Week release of the video to boost our movement’s 
advocacy for a strong treaty.

                                We’re also tackling electronics – the world’s 
fastest growing waste stream and an imminently solvable problem, if we 
rethink some elements of design and embrace the right to repair. Something 
else we’re too quick to throw away is our clothes, and we’ll take a look at 
the monumental costs of cheap, fast fashion, and its alternatives.

                                Lastly, we’re wrapping production on our 
(very) successful Solving Plastic series, which reached over a million 
viewers with solutions to the plastics crisis that really work, and ramping 
up our storytelling in support of the Reuse Revolution, a global campaign 
being organized with partners in Break Free from Plastic around the world.

                                We’ve been busy – and we hope you’re looking 
forward to these upcoming releases as much as we are!

                                All the best,

                                The Story of Stuff Team
