Mesh Bag Mamas Looking for Volunteers!
The idea for making mesh produce bags to give away for free came to Cindy Heath while she was working on gifts for friends and members of the New Hampshire Network's Plastics Working Group. Help the Mesh Bag Mamas reach their goal of making 1,000 beautiful organic cotton-mesh produce bags for the Lebanon Co-op. Contact Cindy Heath cheath58@gmail.com .

Goal of the Ten Towns · Ten Actions Toolkit
The Ten Towns • Ten Actions Toolkit is a menu of concrete actions, ready-made templates, and technical support started by ten volunteers — many of whom have already been successful in effecting change in their communities and all willing to help others rethink plastic. The goal of the Toolkit is to inspire and guide community leaders, catalysts, champions, and others in accomplishing actions toward plastic waste reduction and zero waste strategies, and also to track and celebrate the accomplishments publicly through regular, coordinated media announcements and events.
For some history, see our Ten Towns Toolkit Today Newsletters.

You can Choose a Partner and then Choose an Action, or go straight to Choose An Action.
We are thrilled to welcome our new
