“My hope is that public television stations and their viewers will watch the film and use it as an opportunity to consider their own use of plastics as well as the impact these materials have on our health and the environment,” added Cowan. Ultimately, each person and family will make their own decisions about using plastic—we simply home to provide as much information as possible to inform those decisions.”
Single-Use Planet will air on public television stations nationwide starting April 1, 2025 (check local listings). KQED 9 will air the film on Wednesday, April 30th at 8pm.
