Ocean-saving tote bags
In 2012–2015 and again in 2018, the Sofia chapter of the NGO Surfrider Foundation Europe organised a tote bag exhibition (example here of the 2015 edition) to raise awareness about the pollution generated by single-use plastic bags through art and local collaboration.
Volunteers called on local designers to create cotton bags and decorate them with Surfrider messages, specifically denouncing the harm that plastic bags cause to marine life and ecosystems. Each year the exhibition was organised, one hundred reusable cloth bags were decorated with ocean-themed drawings.
