I stumbled across this little gem.. called Morsbags.Com. Their motto being sociable. guerilla. bagging.
let’s do something positive to reduce the hideous number of plastic bags being used - 1 million are consumed per minute globally - of which hundreds of thousands end up in the oceans.
the idea is to get together with people in your local community, drink wine and make reusable cloth bags (from old duvet covers, curtains from charity shops etc) and hand them out to the unsuspecting public for free on specified dates outside different supermarkets. p.s. non-commercial/ non-profitable - just full of beneficial things for everyone, especially whales!
So far, 605, 500 plastic bags have been saved from the Environment. So here’s how you can make one.. or several..
If this is confusing; you can get their “how to make a bag” Animation on their website. Oh and I forgot to mention if you do make these bags, go to their website and show it off! Send pictures and you can be on their website. Cheers!

Wonderful! Thank you, I’ll have to dust off the ole sewing machine this weekend!
thanks for the blog!
just to point out it http://www.morsbags.com (with an s) and that if people do make bags could they please register a ‘pod’ on the site and login and post their tally, it makes a whole lot of difference to us to be able to show what a difference this project is making.
many thanks

But be careful, they’re so much fun to make, it’s addictive! Lots of fun scouting for fabric to “recycle” into these bags!
This is an innovative and creative way of dealing with the ubiquitous plastic bag. I’ve started a new blog and I will feature this when I make the posts on plastic recycling. Thanks.
