Tuesday Video: The Epic Life Of The Plastic Bag

The power of the mockumentary is truly appreciated at DTE. Wryly taking aim at nature documentaries, we follow the persistent life of a plastic bag as Jeremy Irons – the voice of Scar from The Lion King – narrates. “Today we explore the cycle of life of this curious creature, the plastic bag, on its migration to its home, the Pacific Ocean,” he explains.  There’s alway danger whether it’s the Park Service or tree branches before safely arriving with its herd in the Pacific Ocean.

This came from environmental nonprofit, Heal The Bay , to help keep plastic bags from invading Pacific waters and it’s part of campaign in support of a bill to ban the bags from California retailers .
