*A call to find the most creative reusable bags in Humboldt *



Have you crocheted a bag out of plastic bags?  Maybe you quilted over a
logo on a freebie? SCRAP Humboldt is looking for the best looking bag in
Humboldt! The City of Arcata’s Reusable bag ordinance goes into effect on
February 1 and in conjunction SCRAP Humboldt is hosting a contest in search
of how Humboldt County creates, embellishes, redesigns what a reusable bag
can be. If you have a handmade, or redesigned bag, or have just been
waiting for inspiration, now is the time to show us what you can do!

Photographs along with a brief description of the materials used to create
the bag can be emailed to education at scraphumboldt.org starting on Saturday
February 1 and ending at 6pm on Thursday, February 13. All of the
photographs will be uploaded to an album on SCRAP Humboldt’s Facebook page (
facebook.com/SCRAPHumboldt). Prizes will be given to bags and their
creators based on “Creative Expression”, “Most Unique Materials” and the
“People’s Choice Award.” Winners will be announced on-line and at SCRAP
Humboldt during Arts Arcata on Friday, February 14, because we love you!
All participants will be invited to showcase their creations in an exhibit,
for the month of March, at SCRAP Humboldt.

We know that many of our community members are Reusable Bag super heroes;
having created and been reusing their own bag for years.  It’s your turn to
shine for your environmentally sustainable behavior.  It’s your turn to
share your reusable bag know-how with a city of reusable bag newbies and
help us all become reusable bag super heroes!

SCRAP Humboldt is a project of SCRAP, a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit organization.
Our mission is to inspire creative reuse and environmentally sustainable
behavior by providing educational programs and affordable materials to the
community. SCRAP is located at 101 south H Street, Suite D in Arcata.
Regular hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11a.m. to 6p.m. For more
information visit www.scraphumboldt.org
