Project Details: Concerned about reducing plastic usage at their school, Troop 1513 jumped into action to turn old, unwanted T-shirts into reusable tote bags. The troop created more than 160 shirt bags and donated them to Becky-David Elementary School to use for their book fair, instead of customary plastic shopping bags. Their efforts supported protecting the environment from additional plastic consumption while helping their school save money on purchasing bags.
