Paper Bag Making & Distribution
Watching the market stalls overflowing with plastic bags every day inspired us to take action. We realized people weren't ignoring the environment; they just lacked easy alternatives. On day one, our team gathered to hand-craft eco-friendly paper bags from scratch. Returning on day two to distribute them directly to local vendors felt like the perfect way to turn our inspiration into a practical solution.
On day one, our team gathered at the den to measure, cut, and fold old newspapers and cloth into sturdy bags. It was a massive team effort of gluing and sewing. The next day, we met up early and hit the local markets, handing them out directly to vendors and shoppers while explaining how simple it is to ditch single-use plastics for these homemade alternatives.
Spending day one cutting and folding paper bags taught us how much effort goes into sustainable alternatives compared to cheap plastic. When we distributed them in the market on day two, we realized vendors aren't attached to plastic; they just need affordable options. The real lesson was that giving people a physical substitute makes switching to green habits instantly doable.
