Our Research on Plastic Bags

We've been studying the aerodynamics of plastic bags in ocean currents. It turns out, they're not just blowing in the wind, they're actually being blown by the wind... into our faces.

Our Research Methods

We're using a combination of wind tunnels, oceanographic models, and our keen sense of smell to track the movement of these pesky bags.
