Growing Communities Need Plastic Bags!

A note from Growing Communities, the organic fruit and vegetable box scheme which operates from The Old Fire Station on Leswin Road:

Hi all

Growing Communities is holding another bag amnesty! Our stocks of plastic bags have run down completely, so please, please, please can you bring along any bags you have lying around at home when you collect your veg this week.

In fact, we'd love it if people not on the scheme could bring bags to the Fire Station. There's a cupboard in the yard that's labelled "Plastic bags" and it would be great if people could bring them in there any time.

Also, this year, for the first time, we’re entering the Observer Ethical Awards. We’re putting ourselves in for the Grassroots Project category but we’d also like to enter the Best Local Retailer category, which is voted for by readers.

If you’re happy with the box scheme and/or love coming to the Farmers’ Market, please could you vote for us before this Friday, 12 March, if you haven’t already done so.

Go to www.observer.co.uk/ethicalawards, register and type Growing Communities in the box for Best Local Retailer.

Everyone who votes will be entered into a draw to win food hampers, gift boxes, skincare products, an Ecover house clean, a train and bike tour of Provence.

Thanks and good luck from everyone at GC
