You may have seen in my Flickr stream a lot of photos of Morsbags and friends who come together to make them.
Well on Saturday, we’re going to start giving them away. I have a suitcase stuffed full of about 100 handmade fabric shopping bags and we’re heading out to Koma, Saitama to participate in the Alishan Market Day. This is out first big bag giveaway.
We and 30 other eco/organic/vegetarian friendly groups and shops are forming a “Blue Sky Market” with items from homemade bread, organic vegetables, fair trade goods and lots more.
There will be live music performances, workshops, local nature tours, 15% discounts at Alishan’s fabulous Tengu Foods store and excellent veggie food in their cafe. Alishan’s Japanese page has details, but here’s a summary of the schedule in English for you:
