Fabric bag workshop: creative children design sustainable bags

The workshop "Festure and Bags" workshop in the Erich Weinert district library on Thursday, March 28, 2024, offers a sustainable alternative to plastic bags and enables the participants to design their own pockets with individual motifs. Children from 5 years have the opportunity to live out creatively and at the same time learn something about environmental protection.

The event takes place in a public space, which can have a positive impact on the local community. Workshops like this strengthen awareness of environmental protection and promote sustainability. Children are given the opportunity to develop their creativity and make a contribution to environmental protection.

The use of fabric bags instead of plastic bags is an important step to reduce plastic waste and pollution. This practice is not new, but has a long history. As early as the 1970s, the environmental movement set an example against pollution from plastic bags and called for the use of reusable alternatives.

The following table shows some facts for the use of plastic bags and the advantages of fabric bags:

| | Plastic bags | Fabric bag |
| ————— | ———————— | --——————— | Environmental effects | cause environmental damage | Environmentally friendly |
| Reuse | mostly disposable products | usable several times |
| Manufacture | Requires petroleum | From sustainable materials |

The workshop in the Erich Weinert district library offers an opportunity to actively do something for the environment and be creative at the same time. Due to the design of individual pockets, the participants can be proud of their work and contribute to reducing plastic waste. This workshop is a great opportunity for children to get involved in environmental protection and have fun at the same time.
