B.Y.O.Bag Project (A movement to save the environment one bag at a time)

Wow a friend just sent me this – talk about synchronicity, just earlier today I was telling hubby that I want to make lots of bags. Here’s a site with a free pattern and mission to get involved and make lots of free recycled fabric bags. The pattern is pretty basic but it looks very strong given a good choice of fabric. So all you fellow procrastinators – what excuses do we have now not to join in?

I am often sickened at myself for getting yet more carrier bags from the supermarket, thankfully ASDA has started collecting them in, so I will make an effort to get rid of excess ones there, and with careful planning will implement the BYO bag idea :D A long lasting one sounds the best way to go, and shopping at the market stalls that use paper bags.
Is anyone going to write to their local MP or Councillor? I would love to do something like that and follow Modbury’s example. As I have said elsewhere, I only live 25km or so away from there!
