The “Plastic Wise Benalla” Sub-Committee spent the first half of the year continuing to upcycle unused or recycled fabric into reusable shopping bags. Our small team of dedicated volunteers undertook sewing either in the Drill Hall or in the comfort of their own homes. Approximately 250 bags were sold throughout the year with over 100 being sold at the Swanpool SCRAP Art Festival.
The Group has taken a break for the remainder of the year with two very dedicated ladies continuing to sew at home. There may be potential in the near future for this Group to assist some keen young people to promote the reduction of plastic usage within Benalla.
