Sunrise Byron Bay IGA deli manager Leeanne Hall is pictured with Michelle Pullen, who won a food hamper as part of the Say No To Plastic Bags campaign. Co-organiser Dee Tipping says raffle tickets were to help promote number five checkout being plastic bag free at the supermarket. Farmers’ market manager Mike Stack says the Bangalow Farmers’ Market is now plastic bag free and will be asking Byron members this Thursday to also get on board.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
