Please arrive on time, or even a few minutes early so that we can begin the film on time. We would like to leave plenty of time to discuss the film. We will also answer questions about proper recycling practices in Boston. Many plastics are accepted in Boston's curbside recycling program. That program is a free and easy way to dispose of many of the plastic containers we still encounter everyday.
