Where have all the plastic bags gone?
My inspiration is the “bag” scene in the 1999 film American Beauty, with its arty footage of a plastic bag dancing in the wind, which at the time really did seem beautiful. I’ve tried to take this and turn it around to show the other side – that in reality plastic bags are ugly and dangerous and are the cause of many environmental problems in the world.
I hope my slideshow inspires you next time you’re asked at the checkout, “Would you like a bag?” to reply “No thanks, I’ve brought my own – it’s completely biodegradable”.
