@ByeByePlasticBags started a social enterprise called Mountain Mamas that empowers local women in the mountains of Bali. Through this project, the women learn to design and sew beautiful, handmade, reusable bags using donated or recycled materials. Not only does this create a solution that eliminates the need for single-use plastic bags, it also equips women with skills they can use to earn their own income and improve their standard of living.
Buying a Mountain Mama Bag contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle in the village located on the slopes of the mountain where the women live and work. Half of the profits from the bags they make are reinvested in Bye Bye Plastic Bags. The other half is invested in the health, education, and waste management of the village.
