On Saturday the 16th of February join Positive Change for Marine Life at Threeworlds in Byron Bay for an evening of film, live music and feasting at the ‘Movie Under the ‘Plastic’ Stars’ event to launch Phase II of their ‘Honour the Ocean’ marine debris campaign.
Since May of 2012 they have collected over 150,000 pieces of trash from Main and Seven Mile beach in the Byron Shire. “This event will showcase the vital work that we have been doing in the shire to eradicate anthropogenic waste at its source and ensure that it doesn’t end up in our oceans. The amount of litter that we find on a daily basis on Byron’s beaches was the catalyst for us to initiate this campaign. We believe that the local community can work together to ensure that the Bay is the most ‘waste conscious’ tourist town in the country and set a precedent for other towns to follow”, said Karl Goodsell, founder of Positive Change for Marine Life. The event will also be the launching pad for ‘Coal Seam Gas (CSG) Free Byron Bay’, so come along and find out how you can become a steward for clean water, air and land.
This years ‘Movie Under the Stars’ will be bigger and better than ever with Nahko Bear and Medicine for the People headlining all the way from Hawaii. Nahko, a mix of American Indian, Puerto Rican and Filipino will be performing with his group of dynamic troubadours ‘Medicine for the People’ who, “…make the movement move!” Nahko will be joined by local Uki artist Loren, Byron boy Kyle Lionhart and kiwi native Kit Bray.
The night will also feature a screening of the critically acclaimed ‘Bag It‘ film. The story of an average Joe that decided to go ‘plastic free’, with life changing effect. Delicious vegan and vegetarian food, special presentations, fire twirling, drumming, circus performances and more will be on offer at this local community event with all proceeds supporting Positive Change for Marine Life’s local campaigns.
Movie Under the ‘Plastic’ Stars – Saturday 16th February, Threeworlds (7 Marvel St), Byron Bay. Doors open at 4:30pm.
