Bag It Film Star Jeb Berrier to Speak at Live Green Expo
Familiar with the movie Bag It? The documentary film follows Jeb Berrier, an Average Joe from Telluride, Colorado with some important questions about plastic bags. As the film progresses, Jeb's concern for plastic bags grows into something much larger. He begins to take a closer look at the plastics industry as a whole. Berrier's experience uncovers the frightening truth of how plastics affect our planet and our lives every day. Join us at the Expo to hear from this humorous and insightful speaker about the consequences of living an overly-plasticized lifestyle.
“Think about it, why would you make something that you’re going to use for a few minutes out of a material that’s basically going to last forever, and you’re just going to throw it away. What’s up with that?”
