The zero waste movement has gained a lot of momentum and for good reason. People are more aware than ever about how their actions and particularly consumer habits are impacting the planet, and nothing makes us happier than individuals choosing to take a stand for the planet.
While the weight of climate change should not be held on the shoulders of individuals, that responsibility falls on the 100 corporations worldwide producing 70% of our carbon emissions, the impact that a passionately motivated group of global citizens can achieve should never be underestimated.
The Social Justice and Action Committee is pleased to announce our collaboration with RVUUF member, Patty Duggan, who is making a variety of cloth bag options for carrying silverware, cups and plates. Taking your own silverware and plate will cut back on throwing away plastic spoons, plastic and paper plates, etc.
Patty is accepting donations for each bag you purchase. Your donations will go towards the purchase of yarn products which she then makes into hats and scarfs for those people who are most in need. Contact Patty to special order your bag. Search Patty on Breeze to contact her and place your order!
