Bag It

00:00:18 This story begins with a single plastic bag

00:03:09 That was what it was like for me with plastic bags

00:05:59 What if we shopped using our bags over and over

00:08:30 How fast did you see a difference from when the tax went in?

00:10:47 anywhere in the state of California

00:12:51 more than plastic bags are being recycled

00:15:26 plastic forks, plastic spoons

00:18:04 that you gonna be using for five minutes

00:22:32 But that’s not the whole story

00:26:09 I feel a real responsibility as an American to stand up to these American corporations and say

00:29:31 That’s a bad emblem.

00:33:22 As soon as they get rid of it, into that container, they never think about it any more

00:36:05 The most common items taken are Number 1 and Number 2, but only the bottles.

00:39:33 when plastics end up loose in the environment?

00:42:39 This is not what a beach in Hawaii is supposed to look like.

00:45:52 Animals are then eating the plastic fragments.

00:49:04 It’s not just albatross that are feeling the effects of plastic in the oceans.

00:52:25 So we’re stuck with that plastic in the ocean as it is.

00:55:05 for testing chemicals for health and safety effects.

00:58:00 That means our boys are become feminized feminized and our girls are becoming masculinized.

01:01:20 you actually have to have more phthalate in it than you do polyvinyl-chloride.

01:04:12 I’m on hold.

01:07:57 you had about 11 times increase of phthalates.

01:12:57 Things you can do, too. Starting today, right now.
