I mentioned that the Bag Monster and Eco Elvis got into a bit of a scuffle last Christmas, but what exactly IS a Bag Monster and what’s he all about? Well for one, the Bag Monster would like to get rid of all these ridiculous plastic bag bans and earth-friendly reusable bag habits. Here he is below asking the Santa Monica City Council not to run him out of town:

Here he is again being attacked by a group of small children at the San Francisco Green Fest:

As you’ve probably already guessed, the Bag Monster is a satirical costume meant to make us all aware of our plastic bag use, and the effects of plastic bags on the environment. The ChicoBag Company made the costume from 500 plastic bags, the average number of bags used by every American each year.

and check out the Bag Monster’s blog. I guess he’s got to get the word out somehow. You can also and find out how plastic bags are “sacking” the environment.
