Don’t forget your bags!
August 7, 2019
Do you have a stack of reusable bags in your home that you ALWAYS forget to bring with you? It seems this is a common problem among the majority of people. We may want to bring our own bags, but life and forgetfulness tends to get in the way. A farmers' market is a place that means many things to people. Community, high quality food, supporting local business and for some, it's an opportunity to shop with reduced plastic consumption. As single use plastic becomes less common, we want to make it easy for our customers and vendors to make the switch. This week we are moving forward with an initiative called "Boomerang bags." The idea is that there will be a collection of community bags, that vendors can give out for free and customers will return in bulk to the community bin, whenever they remember to do so!
To start this we need to get bags together and label them with the signature "Boomerang" label. Please join us at market this Thursday and Saturday and participate by donating your bags to the community, helping us label them and start London's first boomerang community!
