Shopping Bags...

We have all heard about Modbury in Deven, being the first town in the UK to go completely plastic bag free. www.plasticbagfree.com
This week, Living Coasts in Torquay - a birdlife conservation centre, got a group of volunteers together, along with some scrap material and a few sewing machines and started making reusable shopping bags from a pattern supplied from www.morsbags.com - you can download the instructions and make your own!!! in 20 minutes you can have your very own unique shopping bag!!!
They then gave away the bags to the visitors at the centre, asking them to re-use the bags. Explaining how so many of the plastic bags end up in the sea where birds and other wild life either ingest or get tangled up in them. If we all do our bit, we could soon have a plastic bag free country!!!
