A workshop will be held on Saturday to teach people how to make Morsbags.
Morsbags are re-useable bags made out of recycled materials - usually fabric - AND are an alternative to one-use plastic bags.
Morsbags are gaining in popularity in Whanganui, thanks to the establishment of a group called the Te Awa Pod. Over the past year the group has given away more than 300 Morsbags at the Whanganui River Traders Market and the Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre.
Sandie Roach and Robin Williamson are the driving force behind Morsbags in Whanganui, and they will be running the workshop.
Ms Williamson in particular has been getting creative with her Morsbags - she's made them out of pillowcases, old t-shirts and even knitted them from plastic bags.
