SHERBURNE – Join Friends of Rogers at 10:30 a.m. on May 2 to repurpose clothing and reduce plastic disposable bag use. Bring your old t-shirts and turn them into funky new reusable totes

“Converting low-value materials, such as an old t-shirt, into a high-value product, such as a unique and reusable grocery bag, is the text-book definition of upcycling,” said Sarah Freedman, Friends of Rogers environmental educator. “Upcycling reduces landfill waste and decreases trash leaving your home … and cutting back on the need to take out trash is a win for everyone.”
