10,000 REASONS TO CARE

JODY'S IDEA TO CUT WASTE BECAME A COMMUNITY MISSION

- By Keeley Henderson

She may live in a small town in South Australia's southeast, but Jody McKechnie's community drive has big power! With a real passion for sustainability, Jody brought together the town of Millicent to create 10,000 reusable shopping bags.

Jody, 62, says the idea for the project arose last year when she started volunteering at a local op shop. She says she was shocked by how much donated clothing was going to landfill.
