Plastic Bags - JUST SAY NO! (Set to Scarborough Fair)

Just a short slideshow I made about my environmental campaign, which my friend and I began when we were 12. Through lobbying the local, state and national governments, we were able reduce the amount of plastic bags in our local shopping strip by 80%. We hope to eventually make it a plastic bag free zone.

all sources say 1 trillion are manufactured annually, not 4

@ducttapeOO7 this video was made 4 years ago, and 3 trillion was the number then.

i really hope you are right though...it means we are making a step in the positive direction.

[againstthetide]

We should use our bags.

[Rodel757]

So lets all of us..Join together and stop using plastic bags and Save Birds .and Marine life...

We can use recycalable eco freindly shopping bags instead ,To bring home our groceries from the supermarket...

However ...If you havent noticed..

Our groceries that are in that bag.. Mainly consist of dead animals....

and your concern is that the bag may choke seagull in the parking lot....
