Movies that matter - Bag it
What happens to plastic bags after they are discarded? Jeb
Berrier looks beyond plastic bags and discovers that virtually everything in
modern society-from baby bottles, to sports equipment, to dental sealants, to
personal care products-is made with plastic or contains potentially harmful
chemical additives used in the plastic-making process. When Jeb’s journey takes
a personal twist, we see how our crazy-for-plastic world has finally caught up
with us and what we can do about it.
