The Bag Monster stops at Times Square in New York on Monday, September 13, 2010 wearing his costumer of 500 plastic bags to show his collection of 45,000 plastic bags and to educate consumers on the environmental impact that plastic bags have. The bags end up in trees, along roadsides, washed up on sea shores and do not degrade in landfills. (© Frances M. Roberts)
