Greenpeace Australia Pacific volunteers created and covertly installed a piece of disruptive art at Sydney's Sculptures by the Sea to protest the New South Wales' government's failure to ban single use plastic bags in the state.

Plastic bags are a growing global environmental problem. The Boomerang Alliance estimates the total lightweight plastic bag use in Australia 2015 is well over 5 billion a year. The latest official count from 2007 showed 3.92 billion bags were being used every year - that’s a whopping 10 million bags every day.

All other Australian states have banned the bag except for New South Wales.
