Good morning.
Here's a wee clip from Endangered, a short film recently created by young participants of Film Town, our community filmmaking project. Emphasis, here today, on community: and communities.
The film concludes with a hopeful claim that we can change our future.

Congratulations Jedburgh Scouts. Your film deserves a wider showing to make people think about what happens to their plastic bottles

Such a thought provoking film by @BordersScouts #Jedburgh about plastic pollution and the journey of the #SingleUsePlastic bottle. What will we be remembered for? #PlasticFree @ScoutsScotland @ScotParl @WWFScotland

Jedburgh Scout Group did a great job at the Scottish Parliament. Their short film about a plastic bottle was screened to highlight #AMillionHands. Big thanks to @alchemyfilmarts for helping us create such a thought provoking reminder of the damning effects of plastic pollution.
