What a roller coaster ride!
A few weeks ago a conversation struck up in the Evesham & Pershore Freecycle cafe about the use of single use plastic bags. A group of us decided to get together and launch a campaign to 'reduce the use' of single use carrier bags in Evesham.
The following day the Observer contacted me to find out what we wanted to acheive resulting in us getting front page coverage for the campaign in that Wednesday's edition.
The resulting response was amazing, we were immediatly conatacted by Wychavon District Council, Worcestershire County Council and JUTExpo among others, all to support the campaign.
Jutexpo have offered full support, all we have to do is ask. They produce a smashing range of bags, and with luck you will be seeing the Evesham Bagbusters jute bag on the streets of Evesham very soon. I will update you with further information on where you can get one shortly.
We have a website, the address is www.eveshambagbusters.org.uk. the site is currently under construction, but please drop by and check on our progress, we have a fabulous webmaster who has offered his services completely free of charge.
We also have a Yahoo group, Evesham Bag Busters, please join the group and let us know your views and thoughts.
We already have a few traders signed up, with promises of more, we are really pleased with how it's all been going.
If you would like to help in anyway, be it big or small, please email us at info@eveshambagbusters.org.uk to let us know. It would be great if you could let us know what you would like to do to help ie. could you help by talking to traders to get them to pledge support? Are you qualified to give us legal advice? Would you like to be our Treasurer? Are you interested in fundraising? Any anything that
could be of help even if it's just licking envelopes.
EBB are bag busters, are you??
