The New Zealand actor who’s about to appear in a new film Peter Rabbit, made the video to highlight the crisis we have with single use plastic bags getting into the Pacific Ocean.
Kiwis go through 1.6 billion plastic bags per year, on average each bag gets used for 12 minutes before it is thrown out.
In this tongue-in-cheek Greenpeace video Neill praises the "humble plastic bag" for its ability to last at sea, "making an active contribution to marine life."
