BAG IT Showing

Protective of our Planet? Perplexed about Plastics? Puzzled about What To Do? Join us for the movie BAG IT, Tuesday, October 29, 7-9PM at the Watertown Public Library.

BAG IT is a delightful light-hearted, yet piercing examination of the problem of overuse of throwaway plastics, particularly single-use plastic bags. Do you know that every single plastic bag that was ever made, still exists? Some are turned into other plastic objects, like trash cans and reusable shopping bags. We see bags caught in tree branches and littering our roadsides. But the largest percentage are in landfills and in the oceans. Have you looked up Pacific Gyre? It is a floating island of plastic trash the size of Texas in the ocean!

Join us to see the discoveries and some solutions that Jeb Berrier finds in this entertaining and fact-filled movie. It will change your life. Brought to you by the Recycling Committee, Sustainable Watertown, and Watertown Citizens for Peace Justice and the Environment.
