Cut Six Pack Rings Video

I created this video for the Cancun campaign, so it is designed to work in English, Spanish, or really any language, by using puppets and videos to show why it is important to cut those rings. Please feel free to use this video to promote any campaigns against plastic pollution and to help native wildlife, just let me know so I can keep a record.

See the Video:
