Imagine if your city wanted to entirely ban the sale of bottled water—everywhere. In Concord, MA, home to “shot heard round the world” reenactments galore and an intensely interesting form of local government, lives Jean Hill, an octogenarian who learned about the world’s largest landfill, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, from her grandson—and decided to do something about it. Joined by passionate activists who go door to door and build giant sculptures from discarded plastic water bottles, Jean takes on the International Bottled Water Association, local merchants, and Adriana Cohen, a model and celebrity publicist turned pundit who insists that Jean’s proposed bill is an attack on freedom. Funny, enlightening, and shocking in parts, this story of an exhausting three-year battle ends with a tense nail-biter of a vote.
