Boomerang Bags working bee
Boomerang Bags is a grassroots, community driven movement tackling plastic pollution at its source. Volunteers from all walks of life get together to make reusable ‘boomerang bags’ using recycled materials, as a means to provide a sustainable alternative to plastic bags. The bags are given away to friends, family, colleagues, bag-less strangers and so on, as a plastic bag alternative that can be used and reused, or passed on to others in need. (www.boomerangbags.org).
Moama Anglican Grammar Primary is joining forces, for the second year running, with Boomerang Bags Echuca Moama. The Parents and Friends group are aiming to up-cycle old pillow slips into Boomerang Bags. These will be used in the schools uniform shop to help combat single use plastic bags. It also demonstrates to our students that we can be part of the solution in not only reducing single use plastic bags, but converting waste into a new and useful product. The amazing Spot On Dry Cleaners have donated the pillow slips and now it is your turn to get involved.
Can you sew? Iron? Trace and Cut? Snip threads? We would love your help!
