That one tree will not only clean the air but restore the beauty to Motutapu by re-establishing native bird habitats and help revitalising the landscape of the island.

Mybagcares aims to replace the use of hundreds of plastic bags. In New Zealand we use up to 30 million plastic bags every year which can take decades to break down, and still leave traces behind which contaminate our soil and water ways. And Don't forget that plastic is a killer for our native animals.

These bags are biodegradable and recyclable. They are made from natural fibers in canvas and jute(hemp). This bag is hard wearing, so you won't just do one trip to the shops. It'll live on - and on.

Mybagcares has been introduced in New Zealand by Ecobags, which offers New Zealanders a smart solution to use re-useable shopping bags to help the environment. Small eco changes can make a big difference to our planet. By encouraging people to use a re-useable shopping bag, we can also help the environment by supporting the restoration of Motutapu Island.
