Long live the Bagonuat!

Bagonaut

Conscious Choice: The Anti-plastic, Super Fantastic Ecohero:

On the eighth of September, Egan Sanders — a self-proclaimed “Yankee Jew Intellectual” living in conservative West Texas — was dropped into the world’s largest reusable shopping bag, via crane. 24 hours later, “Bagonuat” — Sander’s canvas-space-suit-clad alter ego — emerged, having successfully shown the world (or at least the San Angelo Sam’s Club parking lot) that there’s a better answer to the paper or plastic question.

During the 24-hour lockdown in BigBag1, Bagonaut oversaw the distribution of over 1200 reusable shopping bags to San Angelo residents, who in turn donated 4,026 pounds of food for a local food-bank. CC caught up with Bagonaut on the tail of his victorious mission for a closer look at how the superhero plans to revitalize eco-activism.

Merchants of Culture CDROM

Now available, Antonio's health and media literacy CDROM curriculum for youth of color, Merchants of Culture. This valuable resource contains dozens of video and print examples of how advertisers market harmful substances such as alcohol and tobacco to various niche audiences, including Native Americans, Latinos, African Americans, Asians, GLBT and Women. This is an excellent primer for introducing the subject of cultural marketing to high school and middle school students. This is also a great product for health professionals and councilors working in the area of prevention.
