We all know that throwing rubbish on the ground is littering, so why is letting a balloon float away seen as something different?
On Thursday, 28 February Greener Screen in partnership with Azraq with will be screening the documentary; Rubber Jellyfish at Sustainable City for the FIRST TIME EVER in the United Arab Emirates.
FILM SYNOPSIS
Rubber Jellyfish is a feature-length documentary that explores the effects of helium balloons on the environment, wildlife and human beings. Mum-to-be Carly Wilson sets out on a personal journey to meet key players on all sides in the fight to ban balloons, and exposes the confronting truth behind our favourite party product. As she travels around Australia seeking to understand the science and various points of view, Carly discovers a range of issues, from the heartbreaking impact on sea turtles to the potentially deadly effect of helium on children. Her journey takes her from littered beaches to the capital, as she speaks to activists, businesses, and politicians to find out why the balloon problem is being ignored and if something can be done.
This screening will be followed by a panel discussion on Industries and Climate Change, moderated by Azraq Managing Director, Natalie Banks.
