EDA JULY MOVIE SCREENING – BAG IT<br />
Back by popular demand, EDA partnered up<br />
with VOX Cinemas in Mercato and showed a<br />
second screening of ‘Bag It’ on the 31 st of July<br />
for EDA members that had missed the first<br />
screening in September 2012.<br />
Try going a day without plastic. Plastic is everywhere<br />
and infiltrates our lives in unimaginable<br />
and frightening ways. In this touching and often<br />
flat-out-funny film, we follow “everyman” Jeb<br />
Berrier, who is admittedly not a tree hugger,<br />
as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the<br />
complexities of our plastic world. What starts<br />
as a film about plastic bags evolves into a<br />
wholesale investigation into plastic and its affect<br />
on our waterways, oceans, and even our own<br />
bodies. We see how our crazy-for-plastic world<br />
has finally caught up to us and what we can do<br />
about it. Today. Right now.<br />
