The Plastic Bag: From Beginning To End

Q. When is a plastic bag just a bag, and when is it a new species?

A. When it has a life cycle, of course.

And when is a documentary not a documentary?

When its a "mockumentary," of course!

Actually, this "mockumentary" is dead serious and brings a huge
environmental issue to light.

Watch the brilliant "mockumentary" video below, narrated by Academy Award-winner Jeremy Irons, which hammers home the stark reality of California's plastic bag pollution situation.

Before you think this is only California's problem, realize the plastic bag pollution situation is not limited to California. Plastic bags are used everywhere in America.

I wonder if anyone has documented how many plastic bags make it from the Midwest to the Pacific Ocean. Or how many are at the bottom of the Atlantic?
