“There once was a bag they called Tim,” begins the story of a plastic bag’s journey to a composting facility.
The short stop-motion video is produced and narrated by Quest University students in Ellen Flournoy’s Rhetoric class and is meant to educate the community about what happens when plastics end up in the compost. In the video, Tim the bag’s friendships with local fruit and vegetables are short-lived: they decay, while he is doomed to spend the next 100 years alone.
