Voice 2 
Some people are making individual or group efforts to reduce the use of plastic bags. Some people refuse to use plastic bags. They carry their things in cloth bags. These bags can be used many times without breaking. In some situations people must use plastic bags. Then they try to reuse them before throwing them away.
Voice 1 
In Cameroon, a group of women saw the problem of plastic bags. They decided to do something about it. They formed a group called FAREM. The members collect used plastic bags. Then they boil them and use special soap to clean them. Marceline Fotso is the president of FAREM. She explained to the news network MSN:
Voice 3 
“We treat the plastic bags. We have to clean them so that no one catches any diseases from them. We want to be totally sure that all the germs are dead!”
Voice 2 
When the bags are clean, the women dry them. They use them to make things for people to use or wear. The women cut the bags into long thin strips. They weave the strips together to make a strong kind of plastic cloth. They use this cloth to make new products such as purses and wallets for carrying money. They also make beautiful jewellery such as earrings for people to hang from their ears.

Voice 1 
Anne Marie Makollo is a FAREM member. She is very proud of the things that the group makes. She holds up a bright green plastic wallet as she tells MSN:
Voice 4
“All these things are made out of plastic bags. We have gathered them from stores that sell fish, bread, and food. We also take them from the dustbins in order to recycle them.”
Voice 2 
The women sell the plastic products at markets. They also take orders from people. Many people are interested in buying a product that looks nice. They are even more excited about using something that is helping to clean up the environment. Cleaning up Cameroon is the main aim of FAREM. Makollo explains:
Voice 4 
“We are doing it because we do not want to see the plastic bags filling the streets. We are recycling the bags. We turn them into useful things in order to protect the environment.”
Voice 1 
Carrying bags and wearing jewellery made from old plastic bags is better for the environment. It is a way to make something useful out of garbage! It is also a way to make art out of plastic bags - like Pascale Marthine Tayou did at Gare Saint Lazare. The artist and the women at FAREM have a similar hope for the world. They hope that people will think carefully about the materials that they use. And they hope that people will take care of their environment - especially when it comes to plastic bags.
