Single Bite: Bag Monster

Don't Feed the Bag Monster, Santa Fe, New Mexico

When I was at the Santa Fe Farmers' Market last summer, I was instantly drawn to this Bag Monster (Andy Keller, the inventor of the ChicoBag™). He was in town on a nationwide tour as a spokesmonster for the anti-plastic bag movement. The Bag Monster® costume is decked out with 500 plastic bags—the average amount an American uses in one year. I don’t know how he goes to the bathroom in that monstrosity, but hey, it’s plastic.

  1. Love this!!! That is one happy Bag Monster. But don't love that we each use an average of 500 bags a year - scary.
