Free Film Screening: "BAG IT"

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 6:00pm

Uris Hall, G01 Auditorium
Central Campus

Cornell's R5 Operations Department, and Ithaca First, is pleased to announce the screening of the film "Bag It."

Did you know that Americans waste 60,000 plastic bags every five minutes? Where does all of this go? Do we really need such exorbitant amounts of plastic?

"Bag It" is a documentary providing an overview society's wasteful usage of plastic bags through Jeb Berrier's journey across America.

Jeb looks beyond plastic bags and discovers that virtually everything in modern society—from baby bottles, to sports equipment, to dental sealants, to personal care products—is made with plastic or contains potentially harmful chemical additives used in the plastic-making process. When Jeb’s journey takes a personal twist, we see how our crazy-for-plastic world has finally caught up with us and what we can do about it today. Right now.
