Kanopy and Chill
Have you checked out Kanopy yet? University Libraries has an awesome streaming database of movies and documentaries that can assist in your work or just for your viewing pleasure! One film available on Kanopy that looks interesting is a documentary called Bag It: Is Your Life Too Plastic? by New Day Films. It is about the use of the plastic bag. The film summary says it "presents a factual, provocative and emotional story about the negative effects of plastic, in hopes that viewers recognize their own habits of consumption and are compelled to make changes in their own lives." Ellen DeGeneres has made mention of this film.
