Constantly throwing out plastic bags? Instead of throwing them out, why not donate them to those in need.
For the past year and a half, Mats That Matter has helped to support those who may be less fortunate with mats made from your typical grocery bag. These mats are water resistant, bug proof, and provide insulating properties.
ebw.tv had the chance to get the inside scoop with Nancy Klemmer, Co-Organizer of Mats That Matter. Nancy explained in the interview that they have been able to give out roughly 230 mats and that each mat uses about 700 plastic bags.
Working with Colonial Woods, Mats that Matter could use all the help they can get. Although it is an easy process, it is quite time consuming. All skill levels are welcome to come and volunteer to help cut bags while meeting new people and helping support the community.
If you’re looking to donate plastic bags, you can drop them off at the Council on Aging. Learn more in this feature.
