ConservingNow Community Change

Bangalow Basics is the first store in the village of Bangalow to go plastic bag free.  The village is attempting to become greener by encouraging all local businesses to stop carrying plastic bags by the end of 2009.

"Last Saturday the Bangalow store became the first shop in the village to go 100 percent plastic bag free, leading the way in a community initiative to make Bangalow become a plastic bag free village by the end of 2009.  The Bangalow Chamber of Commerce is supporting the drive, and has provided funds to produce a sticker to go into shop windows and other prominent places to remind people why we need to break the plastic bag habit."

Way to go Bangalow!
