FREE REUSABLE BAGS The Upper Hutt community is being encouraged to “refuse plastic and reuse the bag” this August by avoiding single-use plastic bags and choosing more sustainable alternatives.

“More people are becoming aware of the long-term environmental impact of singleuse plastics and they are looking for alternatives”, says Council’s Sustainability Officer, Sarah Cole.

“The reusable bag initiative is designed to encourage people to consider alternatives to waste and raise awareness of sustainability issues".

As part of Council’s sustainability programme, the reusable cloth bags are available for free from Council facilities, including Upper Hutt City Library, and selected retailers from 1 August. Every week during August, there will be spot prizes for people who post a picture of themselves on the Council’s Facebook page using a reusable bag.

For further information contact Sarah Cole (04) 527 2169.
