SAY NO TO PLASTIC BAGS..prevent plastic bag pollution

[kolaida]

These videos need to show alternatives!! Glass, stainless steel straws, glass, stainless steel takeout containers, growing gardens, making bread, hemp shower curtains, moon pads, compost, etc! Otherwise it just looks hopeless! It's not just a fight against plastic bags, but plastic in general! Also, should add into the health effects humans have with exposure to this stuff!

[bookdear]

Thank you for this! It's a serious issue that needs to be addressed.

Arent garbage bags plastic? I suppose the greeney hippie braindead idiots use "canvas" garbage bags too?

[cheloyy]

Good ! you have to wath the microshortfilm Plastic. A parody about how we use to many plastic bags,It critizes in our attitude and enviromental uncounciouness (search plastic ecodes)

[khenzknyt]

who invented plastic bag? we should put the blame on him lol!

[ohm300mk2]

PLASTIC BAG CAN BE USED TO STUFF SHIT LIKE LIBERALS, IT CAN BE USED FOR RAINY DAYS, IT CAN BE USED FOR ALL SORTS STUFF. MAYBE WE SHOULD STOP THE USE OF PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL COMMUNIST THUGS FIRST BEFORE WE BAN ANYTHING. LIBERAL DEMOCRATS NEED TO BE BANNED NOT PLASTIC BAGS. THEY ARE DEMENTED BRAINLESS EVIL PEOPLE!

[Exemplariful]

@ohm300mk2 Ermm...what? No, there was never a liberal spin on the plastic bag bans. And even if it can be used on 'rainy days' and 'all sorts of stuff', the point is that it pollutes the environment. Maybe you just don't like to think that the bag you're using WILL kill something in the ocean, and won't break down for another 1000 years. Maybe it's you that is demented, brainless and evil, simply because you refuse to accept facts. The plastic bag is an inefficient, wasteful and deadly product.

Awesome, good research and cool pictures.

I'm making a short film that deals with this issue. It is about what will happen if we don't act on it immediately: the plastic bags will rise up and attack!

Check out the promotional video on my channel.

Almost everything is made from plastics from mineral bottle water to credit cards. Can we live without plastics then? Who invented plastics? So what?

[kolaida]

@bollockart Surprised no one has addressed this! We CAN live without plastics!! More than likely your great grandfather did or your great-great one did. It's only been invented in the 1900s. Purchase glass straws and use that, bring your own glass/stainless steel containers for take-out, there are "hemp" shower curtains, purchase your fruits and veggies at the farmers market and bring your own reusable tote so no plastic at all is needed. Find a bakery/meat shop that will put stuff directly in

[kolaida]

@bollockart your container. Bring your own To-Go cup. We can't really demand restaurants start using glass straws because of liability issues, I'm sure. But we CAN make a difference and, soon hopefully everyone will carry one and think- that's thousands of less plastic waste per year per person! Just by making that one change! And the great thing about this is when you support companies and stores that don't use plastic you are usually supported local stores or one that isn't using sweatshops.

[kolaida]

@bollockart And if you find a small local bakery/meat shop, you are really putting money into your local economy and helping those people keep their jobs and that store stay open!! You can use cash and go directly to your bank when you want to pull out money.  This actually discourages debt as well. You can even learn how to garden and make your own bread and soup stocks if you are very ambitious! Think how much less waste and clutter could be in your life without plastic!!! Even women can use

[kolaida]

@bollockart can use "moon pads" for their cycle; a type of cloth pad that would actually save the woman a lot of money in the long wrong, be healthier, possibly ease cramps, and be much more comfortable than the plastic thing that is commonly used! People and companies who actually care about the environment usually make good quality items and consistently. Corporations are the ones benefiting from the use of plastic. We are told we are because it's convenient, but we are not benefiting. At all

I hope that people will stop using plastic bags after seeing this video.

[CrazyChikon96]

i just hope you know that while i do believe that this IS a problem, but i dont think we will get alot of people to actually stop using plastic bags

[pixiechristmas]

The thing is that plastic bags are not only in grocery.When you buying other goods they giving you plastic bag,which they are bigger and thicker.Just say no to any plastic bag in any shop not only grocery.

[Bswordslash1312]

Man plastic bags are going to destroy the world. 1 bag has enough petroleum inside to push a car 115 meters.

[chocotaco9666]

screw you, you tree-hugging hippie

[jshard79]

Love the video, does any one know what the music is?? It's wicked!!!

[American398]

SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP, if you wanna ban plastic bags then why not just ban all plastic together. So just get out of my face, ill make my own decision on this.

[popshoveme]

Wait. Did this video just show up randomly when you logged onto the internet? No. I thought it didn't. So, I guess you must have had a choice: "watch the video, or don't." Looks like we already know which decision you made.

[dupeglavac]

You are so dumb! Use canvas bags moron!!!!!

[nowellian]

Cary your canvas bag to the grocery store and stop using or at least cut down on plastic bags!

Ban petroleum based plastic, plastic, pharmaceuticals and even diesel fuel were originally cellulose (plant based). Cellulose is biodegradable and has none of the problems of oil based plastic.

[PikaShuXZero99]

it already happen since the day plastic bag and plastic material stuff was made.
