Bag It - Is Your Life Too Plastic?
Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2012 2:17 am
Lacey mentioned this movie in the BPA in canned foods thread. I think it deserves it's own topic.
I just watched the movie and I must say, I'm never asking for another plastic bag at the grocery store again. In fact, I'm going out tomorrow and buying some reusable grocery bags. Over the past year or so, I've been feeling more and more self-conscious about the plastic bags I use. I have two kitchen drawers full of them!
In that regard, I guess I have to call this movie a life changer. Definitely worth watching. It really made me aware of what a use-once-and-throw-away society we are. And I had no idea there were so many countries where plastic bags have been outright banned.
The film also gives compelling evidence that BPA is indeed something to be concerned about. It's time to start cooking raw beans and forget about the cans. Of course, even then, the beans are still packaged in... plastic.
It's really alarming when you think about it. That stuff is everywhere.
EVERYWHERE!
