Five stars! ***** Very focused, very informative...if people can't understand this video, they need to go to the doc or somethin...maybe they WILL shoot themselves with a 12 ga,....they're takin' up extra breathin' space anyways! A time of 'Awakening' is coming, it's already started, follow along, or be trampled in our dust!

Fantastic!!! Nice editing and awesome facts that I didn't know. And it is very persuasive. Which is cool. Five stars for me. *****.

To all of those who say that this video is boring: If you really can't hold your attention for more than two minutes, don't expect anyone to take you seriously. Honestly, this is an excellent, informative video which is exactly what it is meant to be.

[emotionless45]

Simple, informative, and very professional. Maybe a little boring but at least it doesn't make me feel stupid or like I'm watching a seventh grader's random attack.

[onesoybean]

This video is clear and well done. I like how it focuses on one way to save the environment . Because then it's more in depth and focused. Not just a random collection of things like "Oh, sure I can do that!" but this video provides the incentives on why people should pick up on better habits. The facts are important and highlight this video well and this producer's ideas.

I love this video! so simple and informative.

...shoot myself with a twelve gauge...

[boygens88]

paper or plastic, more like watch it again or shoot myself with a 12 gauge.

[boygens88]

at :38 paper baygs? who is this? Sarah Palin? I couldn't even see Russia from this video. Most certainly does not grind my peanuts.

[jsakubara]

I can see how the video game generation could lose their attention here, but for earth-minded people it provides excellent information in a way that's easy to understand and remember. For me this is a game changer.

boooooooooooooooring zzzzzzzzzz

Groceries across the country could help by having nation wide campaigns to use reuseable bags. Placing reminder signs in parking lots on the entry doors. Charge for a bag from the store. Safeway, Whole Foods, Ralph's, Albertson, Von's are you listening. This is one thing you can do to help us remember.

[headofhome]

This is so professional. I feel like I could see it on network TV right now. Great job!

[mimimayeda]

Compelling. Hard to avoid the facts, clearly presented.

[fastcarsandbabes]

lamelamelame. good production, but borrrring! i see second place

[Funinthesun607]

@fastcarsandbabes yes good production, but very boring. Needs some spice!

[TheVeggiecoach]

very boring. Its just a little too powerpoint for me.

[lydialombardi]

booooooooooooorringggg! dont really want to see this again.

[obachan23]

I like video very much. I am an old woman but try to learn new things.

[KakashiTheWhitefang]

Go message but boring

[amayokoy2]

Wow. This video is super eye-opening. I had no idea that paper bags actually consume more energy to make than plastic bags do. I think this video is relevant to everyone because plastic bags are given with purchases at virtually every small business and retailer.

[Emjay711]

Very informative, but missing something to keep your attention. Voice is too monotone and no cool special effects like in #2.

[CalebLombardi]

its okay. very boring though. i see second place, behind number 2. good though. mad boring

[paxpaul]

Very well done! Simple, clear, uncluttered--excellent video!

Thank you for making and posting this.

[MoooonshoesPotter]

Go Zack!! I feel like bill nye should jump out at the end and go "NOW YOU KNOW!"

you know, becasuse it was educational. :)

[bartoxen]

limited circulation will not help.

Effective change requires playing this EVERYWHERE

perhaps Jimbos will like it on web site, Whole Foods as well?

otherwise you simply haven't served your purpose and the info is lost, wasted time

[crowenation]

Great video, it really makes you think, I'm glad my wife uses the usable bags!

[crakinwood]

we use reusable bags most of the time, great video, I'll pass it on and blog it too.

[PinnedProducers]

amazing and enlightening. top notch production quality!

[StephenAku]

An excellent and succinct video message that gets me to see beyond the paper/plastic harangue I often carry into the market in my busy, little consumer noggin. Encore! to the creator of this video! Thank you for the facts.

(May I suggest that taking an even closer look at the "reusable factor" will show that hemp fiber is much healthier for earth/earthlings than cotton.)

[ilovethemonstermen]

I believe that this is the most moving environmental video that I have seen. I will now use a reusable bag everytime I go shopping. Whoever made this video is a genius.

[farlow307]

I understand that this production was made at the High School level, but I believe it is excellent at ANY budget or level. It is spot on perfect!

[dominyhome]

I'm surprised I still thought paper was a good choice. I"ll work harder to remember the reuseable bags.

[billybobbog]

Good luck, I hope people take notice of the message

[halfemo16]

I couldn't have made this! I thought this was the best because it tells you a simple, easy way to go green. You don't have to make a compost heap in your backyard, all you have to do is get a few bags!

[mrblueschool]

This is the best video by far!

[zackiddy7]

@mrblueschool Thanks!

[ArmsLengthMedia]

i agree. its too PBS esque

[thecourthansen]

this one is well-produced, but it feels like the voiceover is talking to me like i'm a five-year old
