Boomerang Bags YYC, (BBYYC) is a community driven initiative tackling plastic pollution at the grassroots level. May 25th join our eager group at 28 Blankets in Inglewood to begin the Calgary arm of BBYYC. Space is limited.
What will be happening you may ask? Volunteers get together to make re-useable ‘Boomerang Bags’ using recycled materials as a means to replace plastic bags. Through Boomerang Bags we start conversations, make friends, up-cycle materials and work towards shifting society’s throw away mentality to a more sustainable revolution of re-use ― one community, needle and thread at a time! You don't have to sew to join, we need members to collect fabric, (repurposed, not purchased) cut out bag patterns, iron the pieces, stamp the pockets, sew the bags, folding, and whatever else needs to be done to make the BBYYC bags look great! And of course mingle with like minded people. Donating second-hand materials linen, fabric offcuts, curtains, thread Volunteer to help make bags sewing skills not essential! Spread the word! talk to your friends, follow them on facebook.com/boomerangbagsyyc Sign up and if you can't make it please remove yourself to allow others on the waiting list. It's sure to be a great night!
