Why use plastic bags when you can use fabric bags?
The Idea was to make fabric bags for your fruit and veg instead of plastic bags and reduce single use plastics in our community.
5 ladies from our local community; Stephanie, Casey, Abbey, Stacey and Bernadette the project manager, held a sewing workshop in our school hall. They spent several hours on Tuesday and Wednesday making drawstring fabric bags for people to put their fruit and veg in when they go to the supermarket.
This reduces the chance of plastic bags getting in the ocean and being mistaken for jellyfish.
The fabric was mainly old curtains and is being resourced from local op-shops, Rally for Recovery and people’s donations
Year 3 and 4 students got to take some home. We hope we can convince our families to use them when they shop for fruit and veg.
This whole thing is about being as plastic free as we can be!
