Americans use 60,000 plastic bags every 5 minutes,
disposable bags that they throw away without much
thought. But where is away? Where do the bags and other
plastics end up, and at what cost to the environment, marine life
and human health? Bag It follows Jeb Berrier as he navigates
our plastic world. Jeb is not a radical environmentalist, but an average
American who decides to take a closer look at our cultural love affair
with plastics. Jeb's journey starts with simple questions: Are
plastic bags really necessary? What are plastic bags made from?
What happens to plastic bags after they are discarded? What he
learns quickly goes far beyond plastic bags. 2010, USA, 74 min.
