Learn more about a drive in Kent to ban plastic bags by watching the documentary “Bag It” on Monday, Dec. 21 at the Kent Regional Library, 212 Second Ave. N.

The free showings are at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. The 2010 movie exposes the effects of plastic bags and other plastic consumer merchandise, on land ecosystems, the marine environment and the human body.

Refreshments will be provided. People are asked to bring their own reuseable cup for beverages.

Bag Busters – People for a Plastic Free Kent continues to gather signatures in an effort to get a city ordinance to ban single-use plastic bags.

The group wants a ban similar to the one the Seattle City Council adopted in 2011 because the plastic bags are bad for the environment.
