Dear readers, see https://www.philmpark.com/copy-of-article for the work of Joonhee Elliot Park in highlighting this critical issue of plastic recycling.
He writes,
“The pandemic has given us the indulgence of unlimited use of single-use waste for public health. Humanity will eventually overcome the pandemic, but the disposable masks and plastic containers thrown into our oblivion will leave a genetic mark on our minds and habits, which will come back to us later with a greater calamity. While individuals and societies focus only on the air, water, and food that enter our bodies, we forget that the things we emit are destroying individuals and society into an irreversible state.
This documentary attempts to observe the problem of garbage not from a materialistic point of view but as a discourse of mind and memory, relationship, and future. In particular, by focusing on recycling waste, the goal is to question and update the audience’s current perception, which is merely an enlightening discourse on the economic benefits of circulating resources and the conservation of ecosystems.”
