Support making Boomerang Bags in Westport

We're on a mission to make reusable boomerang bags freely available throughout Westport and the wider Buller/Kawatiri district, eliminating single-use plastic bags from our community while promoting #WestportNZ.

We're organising a 24hr Bag-a-thon between Friday 12th-13th October with an aim to make over 5000 reusable boomerang bags that will be distributed and available throughout shops and businesses in Westport.

To make this achievable and to ensure that we can uniquely brand each bag with the #WestportNZ we need your help to purchase a few rolls of calico and some basic screenprinting equipment.

Together we can make Westport and Kawatiri one of the most funky and sustainable communities in NZ.
