SC Johnson wants US consumers to see, in person, how pervasive plastic pollution is within the largest ecosystem on our planet: the ocean. To that end, it has been instrumental in bringing to the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago (MSI)The Blue Paradox, an immersive experience where visitors can walk beneath the ocean’s surface, explore the impact plastic pollution has on this vital natural resource, and discover the meaningful actions needed to stop plastic waste from becoming pollution. SCJ —which is a presenter of the exhibit, said it wanted to bring the experience to US following its impactful run in London in 2021. The high-demand, sold-out event struck a nerve with Londoners, with 97% of attendees saying they planned to change their behavior for good.
Chairman and CEO Fisk Johnson has been out in front on this topic, appearing in other campaigns and messaging about plastic waste.
“We are at an inflection point,” Johnson said in a statement. “Time is running out to turn around the damaging effects of plastic waste pollution. While the challenges we face in stopping this crisis can seem daunting, overcoming them is possible. It starts with raising awareness and inspiring a movement of collective efforts on the tangible things that will make a meaningful difference. Business plays a vital role, and so does government and government regulation, and—importantly—all of us as individuals. That is why bringing this experience to life is important.”
