- The Plastic Bag Store set to open to the public on Thursday looks like a typical New York City grocery, with rows of soda drinks and cartons on its shelves. But a closer look at the boxes of sushi rolls and cereal reveals labels such as ‘plastic bagacado roll,’ ‘Yucky Shards,’ and ‘Caps N’ Such.’
“There are humorous and satirical takes on everyday products that highlight the amount of waste that we’re using, and the environmental problems related,” said Brooklyn artist and creator of The Plastic Bag Store, Robin Frohardt. Beginning Monday, all plastic bags will be banned throughout the entire state, where, according to the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation, more than 23 billion plastic bags are used each year.
