Here's pretty much everything you need to know about why plastic bags are just plain dumb, put to the tune of "New York State of Mind," and chock full of plastic facts.


This clever and remarkably effective mock music video was made by "passionate volunteers on a super tiny budget for the California-based environmental organization Green Sangha as part of their Rethinking Plastics campaign. Green Sangha wants more than to just entertain and educate—they want to actually get governments to ban disposable plastic shopping bags.

Here "What you can do," according to the organization's site:
