Attack of the Bag Monster with Andy Keller

This installment of The Forbidden Fruit will discuss the world problem of single use plastics with Bag Monster Andy Keller. 

In 2004, Andy Keller, now ChicoBag president, took a trip to his local landfill after spending the day landscaping his backyard. He was horrified by what he saw. Single-use bags were visually the dominant article at the landfill that day, blanketing the landscape in a thin mix of white and beige plastic. On his way home he began to notice plastic bags everywhere, caught in trees and on fence posts, half drowned in gutter puddles and blowing in the streets like urban tumbleweeds.

That day Andy vowed to stop using single-use bags. Inspired, Andy dropped a few bucks on a second hand sewing machine and began sewing what would ultimately become the first ChicoBag® brand reusable bag.

We won't to shed as much light on this cause as possible. We're talking plastics here on The Fruit today. Join us!
