The Dangers of Plastic Bags August 6, 2008

And now is happy that there are other ways on how we can recycle plastic bags!!!  Who would think you can make plastic bags into bags as beautiful as these?

Ms. Earth even visited and was crocheting with us…. though everyone wanted a photo with her… Tara noticed that there was a sudden growth of the male population in the area 🙂

Since I used to love crocheting when I was in gradeschool, so even if I have not done it in a long time, I still remember and can still crochet as long as you give me a needle and thread 🙂  So this is what I made in around 20 minutes and I had to go as I could not stay the whole workshop

And outside was a booth selling the bags…HOW NICE!!!!  These are the creations from plastic bags made by the Invisible Sisters.  They range form P 500.00 to P 1,500.00.  It takes around 2 to 3 days for the workers to finish a bag- so most of the cost goes to the daily wage of the workers

Ann Wizer, the woman behind Invisible Institute, She was wearing a vest and holding a bag made by them.  It takes women like these to start something small, make it big and make a difference in our world….
