To watch: Bag It The Movie: Is your life too plastic?

For the past two or three trips to my local video store I've been eyeing the film Bag It. It's often hard to decipher if eco-films are going to be informative or preachy. Erin of the blog Reading My Tea Leaves is raving about this film. Perhaps that's just the nudge I need to get on it.

Also the bar conditioner she is holding up in the photograph is only OK through my eyes (and hair). It definitely didn't give me the soft feel I get from many bottled conditioners.

The Dumpster Project

Meet Mac Premo, the founder of The Dumpster Project. He showcases his own personal items and posts stories about them as posted on his the dumpster project. It's pretty astounding but perhaps this is just taking sentimental hording to a new level. Good on him for making money off of it!

PLASTIC BAGS BANNED IN TORONTO 2013

THIS IS AMAZING NEWS 

One Plastic Beach short

When I found this video on a couple that have been picking up plastic along a Northern California beach. It's pretty impressive to see what we lose, intentionally or unintentionally and to consider the interests in picking themn up.

For years, my Great Aunt Kay has been picking up trash around her Distillery Distrinct, downtown Toronto digs. She always has a show and tell session when we visit and I gotta say, THE THINGS SHE FINDS! This little film reminds me a lot of her interest and finds around her neighbourhood.

It's one part interesting, one part sickening.
