Just to update people who would like to attend the Bag it showing at SJSU this coming Tuesday, we now have a facebook page for the event, which is at http://www.facebook.com/events/215601728551544/?ref=ts. If you are coming, please join the event by hitting the button in the top right. There should also be an option on the top right to “invite friends” on facebook, so if you are willing to do that to help spread the word please do, even if you yourself cannot make it to the event but would like to support us! The more the merrier, and we could definitely use help letting people know about the event.
Finally, I would really like to apologize, especially to Beth Terry, because I just read back through this post and caught that the time was listed as 6pm. We will definitely be there by 6pm setting up and answering questions, so you are welcome to get there at the time, but the event has actually been advertised on all our fliers as 6:30pm, so we won’t start the film till then. But again, feel free to show up anytime between 6-6:30pm. Thank you and sorry for not catching that earlier!!
LAST thing, I promise. The room is 225/229 and if anyone is lost or confused trying to get the event you can call my cell at 650-388-8264 to find us. Thank you so much everyone for your support, hope to see many of you there!!

Hi Amy Beckerman Zarndt. They meant that the film Bag It was on PBS, and I have a brief cameo in the movie.

@BethTerry Thanks, Beth! I’ve already got my library (where I work!) to order a copy of the book when it comes out and I shall (hopefully) be the first to snag it!

@abzarndt I’ll write more about bio plastics here at some point, but just FYI — there’s a whole section in my book that explains them in a very organized way because they are all so different and the claims are difficult to analyze.

One of the comments on your blog said something about you being on PBS last week. What’d I miss!? I didn’t see anything listed in my local PBS guide. Do tell — perhaps it will be rerun?

My burning question is: How comes the chasing arrows are on all plastics?? How is that allowed?

I liked Bag It page. I already like yours. I´m not on twitter. & I can´t share anything else about plastic today on my wall for fear of loosing my friends! :-)

(because I´m talking about a local restaurant who from now is: giving people free water in glass. No longer giving out straws unless asked. Spent a fortune on paper bags! exciting!)

Okay, I’ve liked “Bag It” on FB and shared it on my wall, I had already liked your FB page some time ago and just now shared it as a great resource on my wall. Here’s one of my current questions about plastic — I want more clear information about these new compostable, biodegradable, and other alternative plastics that are popping up. Businesses are trying to do good by using them, but when I encounter them I don’t know what to do with them! I avoid them when possible, but what is the real scoop about them? I hear that some of them only work in industrial composting sites, what does that mean!? You get the idea. Thanks for all you do!
