X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Film screening of documentary Pacific Mission,
	 followed by a discussion about plastic pollution, from remote Pacific bea
	ches to Dutch canals. <p>Plastic keeps washing up on the most remote and u
	ninhabited beaches on earth, carried there by ocean currents from thousand
	s of kilometres away. The documentary Pacific Mission follows an impossibl
	e expedition to clean up an island where nobody lives, yet where tonnes of
	 our waste arrive. A faraway problem that we contribute to: our packaging,
	 our fishing gear and our waste exports travel the same currents. After th
	e screening, Dutch organisations working on plastic solutions join the con
	versation: The Great Bubble Barrier, Wad Gaat Om and more. Together we ask
