Plastic Bag Ban
In 2008, a small group of Westport RTM members got together and
initiated a process
to ban the use of plastic bags at retail in
Westport.
Taking The Show on the Road
The In The Bag Art Show is one of the ways communities can educate their town about plastic bags and their affect on our environment.
In The Bag Art Show traces the beginnings of the movement and present the growth of creative alternatives to plastic. Featuring a selection of colorful reusable bags made from billboards, juice boxes, rice bags, and discarded plastic, the exhibition aims to introduce grass roots recycling movements sprouting up in small resourceful communities such as the Philippines, Cambodia, India and Central America. The exhibition also highlights the work of contemporary artists employing reusable processes and exploring the iconic and physical characteristics of plastic as a medium.
The In The Bag Art Exhibit is available and easily adapted to Town Halls, Libraries, Nature Center's, Schools or Universities. The show opens at the Boston Children's Museum in the fall of 2011.
