Bag It Movie, Montrose 

6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Montrose PUBLIC LIBRARY COMMUNITY ROOM~MULTIPLE FILM FESTIVAL AWARD WINNTER!! AMERICANS use 60,000 plastic bags every five minutes—single-use disposable bags that we mindlessly throw away. But where is “away?” Where do the bags and other plastics end up, and at what cost to our environment, marine life and human health? Bag It follows “everyman” Jeb Berrier as he navigates our plastic world. Jeb decides to take a closer look at our cultural love affair with plastics. Jeb’s journey in this
documentary film starts with simple questions: Are plastic bags really necessary? Jeb looks beyond plastic bags and discovers that virtually everything in modern society—from baby bottles, to sports
equipment, 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.
