MECHANIC FALLS — The Mechanic Falls Public Library will offer a program making Boomerang Bags on Saturday, Jan. 21.
Boomerang Bags is a way to tackle plastic pollution at its source, the library said.
The program will begin at 10 a.m. and will be held in the Council Room at the Town Office, 108 Lewiston St. The program is limited to 20 people. Working sewing machines are required, patterns and material will be provided.
Volunteers will make reusable bags using recycled materials, as a means to provide a sustainable alternative to plastic bags.The bags may be given away to friends, family, colleagues, bagless strangers and so on, as a plastic bag alternative that can be used and reused or passed on to others. The bags create a platform to start conversations, make friends, up-cycle materials and work towards shifting society’s throw away mentality to a more sustainable revolution of re-use — one community, needle and thread at a time.
Together we link hands globally to create a shift to a more connected and conscious society. To register, call Nancy Petersons at the Mechanic Falls Library, 207-345-9450, email mechanicfallslibrary@gmail.com.
