September 4, 20223 yr I recognized her right away from old Superman reruns. Cool to see all the clunky old gadgets, that were probably the height of moderna, then. "Promotional film for the pioneering American plastics company that surveys the contribution of plastics to everyday life. Flight to the future in the World of Plastics is structured as a discussion on a transcontinental flight, during which three plastics experts (a manufacturer, an engineer, and a designer) tell the flight attendant about their industry.

Speaking of disposing of plastics, be careful how you do it. Years ago I was helping the family of a co-worker pack up their things to move. The wife was burning things they wanted to get rid of in their fireplace. She dumped a box full of small plastic items in the fireplace. I told her to rake them back about.
