Advocates Seed Cause with ‘Bag It’ Film
Documentary examines use and abuse of plastic
A coalition of local organiza­
tions will stage an historic film
and public engagement event fea­
turing the Northwest premiere of
the film “Bag It,” a compelling
story of the single-use plastic bag
that evolves into an investigation
into plastic and its effect on our
lives, bodies and waterways.
The documentary focuses on
plastic as it relates to our society’s
throwaway mentality, our culture
of convenience, our over con-
sumption of unnecessary, dispos­
able products and packaging —
things that we use one time and
then, without another thought,
throw them away
The Oregon Legislature is con­
sidering a statewide ban on single­
use plastic bags, and each screen­
ing of the documentary will in­
clude a discussion of the issues
with advocates of the ban. The
coalition hosts include Environ­
ment Oregon, Surfrider Founda-
tion, Oregon League of Conser­
vation V oters, W illam ette
R iverkeepers,
T ualatin
Riverkeepers, Recycling Advo­
cates and Audubon Society of
Portland.
“Bag It” will open with a grand
premier on Friday, March 4 and
continue with showings through
March 13 at the Hollywood The­
ater, 4122 N.E. Sandy Blvd. Shows
are nightly at 7 p.m. with weekend
matinees at 5 p.m.
