Review the Movie BAG IT
The sneaky plastic monster


Bag it is a documentary film about plastic bags, plastic politics, single-use disposables, how plastics are influencing the health of our bodies and our environments, which is directed by Suzan Beraza and acted by Jeb Berrier. The story starts from a guy namely Jeb who begins by asking where plastics bag from his local grocery store to carry home a single container of peach yogurt will end up and he decides to find out how plastics affect not only our environments but also our bodies.
We should be so concerned about these things since the studies have obtained that certain additives can cause dangerous developmental effects on children, potentially impacting allergies, hormones, metabolism, and more. This movie has made by consulted with scientists to show the realities about serious and dangerous effects of using plastics day by day, regarding that it causes many bad diseases for children and adult as well such as breast and prostate cancer, enlargement of the prostate, hyperactivity in children, obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. More and more studies are beginning to show that the comfortable of plastic is not worth the risk to our body health and environment anymore. Then, we can figure the unexpected consequences of using plastics and consider that using them has grown to destroy proportions on our planet earth, so that we can change the way we think, feel and act regarding plastics packaging, plastics garbage and plastics pollution.
For a moment I stuck on thinking. Remember that plastic has its role in our society. It is an important part in most everything we use on a day-to-day basis. In many daily activities we often use plastics for packaging, bringing home some groceries, container of the food we eat and the water we drink and many others. We do our best to keep our health every day. It means that we also protect our environment as well. But, it is not simple to do the right things. Your food may be healthy, but what about the containers that you’re storing it in?  This is proved by much terrible news about bad impacts of using plastics to our earth. From our dishes and properties to our food packaging, there is a reason to think twice about using plastics remember that many of them often contain toxic.
From the movie, we can find out some good solutions that we can take into our lives. The right choices and small action we make have a huge impact on our planet’s future. The good news is that there will be alternatives.




1.      Eliminate plastic produce bags and carry reusable bags.
2.      Avoid buying water bottles and trying using a stainless steel water bottle.
3.      Bring stainless steel travel mug at all times for drinks.
4.      Bring own container for takeout.
5.      Prefer natural fabrics over synthetic ones for clothes and furniture.
6.      Avoid giving plastic toys to children, especially in the case of younger children who are likely to chew or take toys in the mouth.
7.      Refuse, reduce,  reuse, recycle, rebuy.

To our better future world and particularly future generations, we should be even more aware about widespread of plastics in our culture. Then, we also learn what we can do to free our life from plastics so that we would walk away being both startled and smarter and also making our live simpler and healthier.
