The show tells the story of a man who litters, throwing his garbage into the ocean. He falls asleep on the beach and dreams that the ocean turns to plastic and all of the garbage he has thrown in comes to life. When he awakens, he sees a sea turtle swallow a plastic bag that he threw away. He jumps in to save the turtle. Once the sea turtle swims away, the man starts to drown but the sea turtle comes and saves him. The logic is: If we save the earth, the earth will save us.
All the puppets within the dream sequence were built from used plastic and other garbage. The ocean was built using plastic grocery bags collected from neighbors. Neighborhood children helped to put it together. For more information about Purple Rock Productions and how to view a short video, visit http://purplerock.org.
