Starting in 2005, Andy Keller had been using a huge ball of 500 - 700 plastic bags to show people at farmer's market how many plastic bags an average American uses yearly - and one day he decided to wear it. Thus was the spawning of the first Bag Monster (costume that is). This summer he's decided to embark on a national tour setting up in city after city across America to educate communities about the harms of single-use bags. His display has grown and now represents a single person's lifetime consumption of 45,000 bags.
This video is from the Bag Monster's stop in Boise, Idaho.
