when we all do our small part we can change the big picture!
FatBottomBags! were born from my desire to do something positive to help the environment. I was concerned about what to do with the plastic shopping bags that I had at home. I wanted to find a way to put them to good use and keep them out of the waste stream.
I discovered a technique to use them for crochet projects and developed my own pattern for FatBottomBags!
I started small. First I made several bags for my own use. I got a lot of positive feedback about the bags I was using. People seemed excited by the idea that something useful could be created from this wasted resource!
By using my own reusable bags, I stopped collecting so many of those plastic ones so I began to gather them from friends and neighbors to recycle them. And now I am recycling bags for 20 different families!
I wanted to make a difference for the planet and I am! So far I've saved nearly 4500 plastic shopping bags from entering the waste stream or worse yet winding up in our oceans.
When we all do our small part we really can change the big picture!

- I make reusable tote bags from recycled "disposable" plastic shopping bags. I'm an organic gardener with a compost heap and a worm bin. I live on an island and conserve water. I volunteer with a local marine mammal stranding network. I go out into my community to spread the word about the harm plastic shopping bags are doing to our environment!

Lummi Island must be a wonderful place to live! I'm sure you are very in touch with nature there. I was in Seattle once.. love the area. Also - how can we all follow you on twitter? I'm at @janaarnold
You are proof to all Earthlings that one human can make a difference. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for joining Zork Planet. It is your planet now too. Make yourself comfortable and be green like me.
Your beautiful planet is in major peril because of Didiot humans who continue to destroy it. One thing I have learned traveling the galaxy for thousands of years is that one person can make a difference in the future outcome of the planet.
The Zork Revolution, like any other revolution, is always started by a few individuals and groups who have a passion and desire to change things.
Every human can do simple things that could make a huge difference overnight in making this planet greener. Imagine if one million humans overnight made the Zork Pledge as part of their daily living. Imagine if there were 10 million humans. Imagine if it was 100 million. The consumption of energy would be substantially reduced overnight. That is the simple power of the Zork Revolution.
Meeree Eeree (ciao),
