Bag It! Documentary

Bag it!!

By Lauren Segreto “Bag it!” is a film that has been receiving awards at film festivals across the nation. This film was created by Suzan Beraza and it features Jeb Berrier. “What started as a documentary about plastic bags evolved into a wholesale investigation into plastics and their effect on our waterways, oceans, and even our bodies.” It has now gone from a documentary to a movement, offering a a ‘Bag it’ club! The ‘Bag it’ movements and clubs are being offered in schools and other related campaigns so people can learn more. I absolutely loved this informative, yet funny documentary! I ended up getting one of my friends to pledge to use reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones and got my parents to use canvas bags.

“Join the ‘Bag It’ movement and decide for yourself how plastic your life will be.”
