A competition to design a reusable bag for Lidl!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The good news is that Lidl are introducing new reusable shopping bags made from recycled materials as part of our overall commitment to reduce plastic. The great news is that we want you to help design the bag!!

To celebrate the announcement of Lidl Ireland's new range of 100% recycled plastic shopping bags, we are calling on young creatives across the country to exercise their imaginations and submit a drawing of what one of the R's of Sustainability means to them, under the theme reduce, reuse or recycle.

Entrants are encouraged to interpret the R's of Sustainability in their own way and Lidl encourages creatives to take inspiration from all around them; whether you create a drawing based on reusing egg containers as seed pots or regrow your garden into a haven for bees and butterflies, the creative possibilities are endless!

To be in with a chance to win, you can pick up a colouring competition entry form in any Lidl store across the country from Monday 25th January or you can download the form here and print it off at home. To submit your masterpiece, you can take a picture of it and upload below by Sunday 28th February 2021.

This move is part of Lidl's A Better Tomorrow sustainability strategy set out in 2018 under its Plastic Pledge commitments which include eliminating single use plastics, using 20% less plastic packaging by 2022 and having 100% recyclable own-brand packaging by 2025. The theme of the competition is also aligned with Lidl's REset Plastic approach which focuses on Reduce, Redesign, Recycle, Remove and Research.

The launch of Lidl's new recycled shopping bags will see 6.3 million 'Bags for Life' eliminated from circulation by May 2021. 'Bags for Life' are reusable shopping bags made from plastic which, although are meant to be an environmentally friendlier alternative to single-use plastic bags, can often have a large environmental footprint as they are frequently not reused. Lidl is the first retailer in Ireland to only offer heavy-duty plastic bags which are made from 100% recycled plastic.

It's that time of year where thing are starting to grow, in our gardens, our flower pots and forests. But how can we help spring growth and reduce our waste at the same time? Food waste in Ireland is a big issue, but composting some of that waste could help reduce excess waste to landfill. Food waste that rots in landfill is cut off from oxygen and emits methane (a greenhouse gas that is more potent than carbon dioxide).

By composting effectively however, where organic scraps and clippings are exposed to air, methane-creating bacteria can't live. Composting is a natural process, all we need to do is create the ideal conditions and let nature do the rest. Organisms such as soil bacteria, fungi, moulds, worms and insects work together with air and water to create a thriving compost. Composting is a biological process wherein organic raw materials are transformed by these organism activities into a stabilised soil-like compost material. You can use the compost to help those plants grow for the next season. Why not learn a little about composting? you could even try this at home.

The 1st of February is the first day of Spring AND the first day or Environmental Awareness Fortnight. The origins of the St. Brigid's cross actually come from the Pagan festival called Imbolc, and they were traditionally hung over doors or windows to protect your family from any kind of harm, and to symbolise the coming of Spring. They were later adopted by the Catholic Church and renamed St. Brigid's Cross. They represent the four seasons, one for each of the four arms on the cross, and Spring is the season of new life. See if you can make one with grass, reeds or even long strips of recycled paper!
