Plastic Free July
Woolies kindly gave us permission to hold a stall inside their store in Wangaratta last Friday July 19, to promote for Plastic Free July the use of reusable, washable fruit & veggie bags.
The ladies
from Boomerang Bags had been busy sewing them & well over 100 were
sold, and many positive conversations had with shoppers with Ann Brain,
MaryAnn Sargent & Donna Hutchinson.
As this was such a success we hope to do it again.
