The Majestic Plastic Bag - A Mockumentary
-
0:02 - 0:05The open plains of the asphalt jungle.
-
0:05 - 0:09Home to many creatures, great and small.
-
0:09 - 0:13And the pppping ground for one the
most clever and illustrious creatures, -
0:13 - 0:16the Plastic Bag.
-
0:16 - 0:21Today we explore the cycle of life for
this curious creature, the plastic bag -
0:21 - 0:27on its migration to its home,
the Pacific ocean. -
0:27 - 0:31Once released into the wild,
the plastic bag is unsure of itself. -
0:31 - 0:37It falters at first, but soon, with some help from the wind,
-
0:37 - 0:40the bag will be airborne!
-
0:40 - 0:45This flight will be the first in its long
journey towards it's final destination: -
0:45 - 0:51the Garbage Patch in the heart
of the Pacific Ocean. -
0:51 - 0:53Using the wind to guide it,
-
0:53 - 0:57the plastic bag moves across the city,
through the air. -
0:58 - 1:00A city park.
-
1:00 - 1:04This park may, at first, seem like an
idyllic place for the plastic bag, -
1:04 - 1:08but danger lurks around every corner.
-
1:08 - 1:10Here it will encounter many enemies,
-
1:10 - 1:12including one of the MOST dangerous...
-
1:12 - 1:15Park Services!
-
1:19 - 1:24Poor little fellow. Looks like
HIS journey ends here. -
1:26 - 1:30Meanwhile, our little bag has encountered
one of nature's most deadly killers... -
1:30 - 1:32the Teacup Yorkie.
-
1:32 - 1:37Once the Yorkie has locked onto it's
victim, there is very little hope of survival. -
1:37 - 1:40But using it's superior size and
deft manouvering, -
1:40 - 1:48our bag manages to escape the
Yorkie's talons and flee for its life. -
1:50 - 1:54Over the course of its
miraculous migration, -
1:54 - 1:57the plastic bag will cover VAST distances,
-
1:57 - 2:02through neighborhoods, across
parks, and down city streets. -
2:03 - 2:06It is now nightfall and our highly
advanced Night Vision Cameras -
2:06 - 2:10have managed to capture, for the
FIRST TIME in history, -
2:10 - 2:13a plastic bag in pitch black.
-
2:13 - 2:16PHENOMENAL!
-
2:16 - 2:24The vast cement rivers of California,
home to literally dozens of animals. -
2:24 - 2:28Many plastic bags will not make
it out of here, -
2:28 - 2:31the reeds and branches will see to that.
-
2:33 - 2:37As at home in water as it is
on land or in the air, -
2:37 - 2:43the bag's natural buoyancy makes
it an excellent swimmer. -
2:48 - 2:49It's close now...
-
2:49 - 2:52and it can feel it!
-
2:53 - 2:59At last the bag has reached
the gateway to the open sea. -
3:01 - 3:05Careful to avoid the mouths of hungry
sea-life that feed on the helpless plastic, -
3:05 - 3:12the bag will travel 100s of miles, to join
the thriving community of plastic known as -
3:12 - 3:16the GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH.
-
3:16 - 3:19The Garbage Patch is a
veritable plastic oasis, -
3:19 - 3:23where millions of tons of plastic
garbage remain entrapped by the currents. -
3:24 - 3:25It is said to be twice the size of Texas,
-
3:26 - 3:28never actually biodegrading,
-
3:28 - 3:33Here the plastic bag can live indefinitely,
peacefully, coexisting with -
3:33 - 3:36billions of other petroleum species,
-
3:37 - 3:40before breaking into ever tinier plastic pieces,
-
3:40 - 3:45thus completing the plastic cycle of life.
