Post Plastic Project

This Sunday, June 5th at Littlefield NYC (622 Degraw Street, Brooklyn), is an art event worth attending. Live music, amazing art and an excellent cause.

Did you know plastic has been slowly accumulating in the NW Pacific to form a garbage mass roughly twice the size of Texas?! The Post Plastic Project is a night of art and music to reverse the spiral and combat the plastic vortex. Proceeds benefit projectkaisei.org, an organization that, through expeditions, research and education, is finding ways to reduce its size and keep plastic from entering the ocean in the first place.
