The Morsbags competition is an attempt to help save the environment by creating a fabric bag (and therefore avoiding the use of plastic bags), and having some fun while making them!
There are some great prizes on offer, so be as creative as possible.
From the registrations we've received, we're expecting to hang around 800 Morsbags - not a bad start in helping the environment!!!
Morsbags was set
up in attempt to reduce the number of plastic bags we use and
manufacture, which destroy marine wildlife and contribute to global
warming. Over 48,000 bags have been made so far, and we hope to help
Morsbags push that number right up!
