Interesting Project in Sweden


Ran into Eero Koivisto at the ICFF and he told me about this wonderful project. Claesson Koivisto has taken the design of the plastic bag and given it to the Stockholm City Mission. They in turn take the donated fabric and clothing that is sent to them (16 tons a year!) and have the homeles choose two fabrics to sew into reusable bags. These are sold to create revenue for the non-profit Mission and give the homeless an opportunity to work. They are completely wonderful! Ck out http://www.claessonkoivistorune.se/
