"It's high time those of us in the entertainment industry cut ties with single-use plastics on our sets AND in our storylines. We are the trim tabs who can Flip the Script on Plastics and help audiences visualize—and then realize—a plastic-free society."

"When we, as actors and creators, tell stories that reflect the real world experiences of our audiences, we hope to connect with them on a deeper level. That means addressing the climate and plastic pollution crisis in our storylines, portraying real solutions, and constantly working to Flip the Script on Plastics."

“As President of SAG-AFTRA and President of Cancer Schmancer, I am excited about Plastic Pollution Coalition’s Flip the Script initiative; I am creating a seminal Green Council to clean up Hollywood and reduce our industry’s carbon footprint. We must be forward thinking and always consider innovations’ long-term impacts on the health of the planet.”

"As a young actress, I love every opportunity to represent diverse voices and experiences. But if we continue to allow plastic to pollute our environment and our storylines those voices may be silenced. It’s important that this industry works to Flip the Script on Plastics and guarantee a bright future for my generation and everyone who comes after me."

“Helping audiences to stop seeing plastic pollution as normal is critical as the world seeks to move away from fossil fuels—of which single-use plastics are made. This initiative couldn’t be more timely as people are realizing the injustice and inequity of plastic pollution and the climate crisis, and world leaders are being pushed to act.”

“It’s time for films and television shows to reflect the knowledge we now have about the dangers of plastic and help pave the way towards a future free of single-use plastic. As the unique cycle of art influencing culture and culture influencing art continues, it’s vital that an accurate portrayal of plastic be included in the narrative in order to influence audiences to switch to sustainable alternatives.”

“If you have the power to pen characters and story, bam! Build a world where protagonists have positions on the use of or alternatives to disposable, single-use plastics. In our upcoming film, Another Day Without a Mexican: This Time It’s Personal, not only will Mexicans disappear, but single-use water bottles may be to blame. Whaaaat?!”

“I’m excited to see this initiative roll out to raise awareness in the film industry. When people see sustainable behaviors modeled on stage or on screen, it changes what we all regard as normal. We’ve been working to get single-use plastics off stages and out of venues for over a decade by supporting the BYOBottle music industry campaign, offering water refill stations and pioneering reusable cup programs. It’s a natural next step to support Plastic Pollution Coalition’s efforts to do the same in film and television.”

“How you live tells a story. Every time you say no to plastic, you inspire others to do the same. Flip the script on plastic. Tell truth in your art and life and be part of the plastic pollution solution.”
