Comments on: Bag It! http://myplasticfreelife.com/2009/09/bag-it/ Think we can't live without plastic? Think again. In 2007 I committed to stop buying any new plastic & I've almost succeeded! Won't you join me? Let's see what plastic-free looks like in 2012... for the health of our bodies, our oceans, our planet. ~Beth Terry Fri, 24 May 2013 17:23:35 +0000 hourly 1 By: Beth Terry http://myplasticfreelife.com/2009/09/bag-it/comment-page-1/#comment-22765 Beth Terry Sun, 24 Oct 2010 04:06:32 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2009/09/bag-it/#comment-22765 Amanda, didn’t they do a great job? I was happy that the film focused on reducing our consumption rather than technological “solutions.” I think I’ll have to write another post about it, now that it’s out.

Funny thing is, I cringe when I watch it because I can’t see anything but my big butt. *Sigh* Some day I’ll get over that kind of superficial stuff.

I got super excited and whisper-yelled, “I READ HER BLOG! IT’S AWESOME!” and got a “SHHH!” from my friend – maybe I was a little too excited :). It was great to see you up there alongside all the other anti-plastic gurus.

Overall, “Bag It!” was a great, informative film. Just reading the description and watching the trailer, I was afraid the film would touch just the surface – focusing mainly on single-use plastic bags, but I was pleasantly surprised to watch Jeb go a lot deeper into the plastic issues. I’ve been pretty plastic-free for a few months, and I even learned a ton from this film. Highly recommended!

I like his closing line… "Good job bananas…" *wink* Hilarious.

She is the author of the wonderful book – SLOW IS BEAUTIFUL, and she lives in Seattle but used to reside in CA. She and her husband set up Phinney EcoVillage and I'm writing this because I highly recommend her book to you. Here is a link: http://slowisbeautifulcecile.blogspot.com/

I can't link to it because it is for subscribers only but I sent a copy to you, Beth.

This news just in: I'm trying to do my part for good eating. I've created a website for the local school garden initiative. Lots of photos. Take a gander here. We hope it will get more parents volunteering and kids eating good stuff.

OH NO! The capcha for this post is "edian" that's way to close to Evian for comfort!

That is very exciting! I hope you're in the movie, you'd be fantastic, someone people can relate to and admire :) hehe (no pressure, eh?)
Way to go Beth!

This should keep the pressure on the plastic bag issue where consumers are just saying no to all the negative outcomes.

The $10 million dollars cannot hide the wrongheaded attitude which blames emotional reactions for the anti-plastic campaigns.

Zero Waste promotes sustainable practices like using reusable bags. Plastic bags are simply without use, sustainably speaking. Time to stop making them.
