Bags for the future

Total project costs £4,665
Fund grant £3,030 (65% of total)

'Bags for the future' aimed to significantly reduce the use of plastic bags in the parish of Ashurst and Colbury and to provide a catalyst for similar changes to take place elsewhere in the National Park.  

The project provided every household in the parish with an organic cotton re-usable bag, which was designed by local school children as part of their sustainability work.  

The project also worked with local retailers, encouraging them to use alternatives to plastic bags.
