Reusable Produce Bags Fundraiser

Penny from Rural West Whangarei

Here is your sustainable solution to plastic produce bags!!

You probably already know that supermarkets are starting to phase out plastic bags for fruit, veges & general shopping - some Countdown supermarkets have apparently already stopped supplying plastic bags in their fruit & veg sections.

So this fundraiser is a timely solution to what to do with those apples & carrots that will be rolling loose in your trolley!

- Certified Organic Cotton designed to last many years
- 100% biodegradable
- My Vita Bags products are Fair Trade and ethically made
- Machine Washable & great for storing produce in your fridge
- Suitable for fruit, vegetables, seeds, grains, nuts etc

These reusable produce bags come in sets of 4 bags - 2 mesh & 2 muslin - a large (28 x 33cm) & a small (25 x 20cm) of each.

Only $12 per set.

You can use the link below to order online. Payment must be made to the school (internet banking details will be emailed to you when you submit your order) before the order closing date of 31st May. Orders will be available from 13th June.

There is a postal delivery option available for those not close enough to pickup from Matarau School - only $4 postage for up to 3 sets, $8 for 3+ sets

Online Order Link - bit.ly...

Please share this with family & friends so we can help the environment & raise some funds for Matarau School.

Thanks for your support!
