Hundreds of billions of plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year, with less than 1% being recycled. Plastic bags have severe environmental impacts as they are often littered and end up polluting oceans and landscapes. When exposed to sunlight, plastic bags break down into microplastics that are mistaken for food and enter the food chain, harming hundreds of species of marine life and birds. Many countries and cities have implemented bans or taxes on plastic bags to reduce consumption and mitigate these issues.

Geese fly in a V formation to increase flying range. By flapping its wings, each goose creates uplift for the goose behind it, allowing the flock to fly 71% further than if each bird flew alone. Any goose that falls out of formation feels increased drag from flying solo, encouraging it to quickly return. Like geese working as a team, people achieve more when sharing a common direction and supporting each other rather than trying to go it alone. Geese also take turns leading and encourage those in front to keep up the pace, teaching us the value of cooperation, shared leadership and encouragement.
