Girl Scouts Make Reusable Bags from Tee Shirts

The Environmental Defenders of McHenry County taught Girl Scouts how to make bags from T-Shirts.

From L to R: Lenny Quimby, Allie Hill, Kaitlyn Tomazewski, Alice Dubiel, Amy Mcelhattan, and Madie Chapman.

Environmental Defenders’ Executive Director, Cynthia Kanner, met with Girl Scout Troop 392 out of the Village of Algonquin to teach these young leaders how to create reusable bags out of used t-shirts.

The girls chose the activity as part of an entrepreneurship project and
will go on to teach others how to create the bags by providing a service and/or sell the bags that they create as a fundraiser.

Learning how to market, brand, and make a positive environmental
impact all rolled into one lesson!

The group also learned the important message of supporting local by holding their meeting at a local establishment in Algonquin – Riverbottom Ice Cream Co.

    Long march through the institutions is a Marxist concept formulated in 1967 by the West German student movement leader Rudi Dutschke. Dutschke reformulated Antonio Gramsci’s philosophy of cultural Marxism with the phrase the long march through the institutions (German: Marsch durch die Institutionen) to identify the political war of position or incrementalism, an allusion to the Long March (1934–35) of the Communist Chinese People’s Liberation Army, by means of which, the working class or “oppressed” would produce their own intellectuals, civil servants, and culture (dominant ideology) to replace those imposed by the bourgeoisie or “oppressor class.”[1][2][3][4][5][6]

    Karl Marx spoke of a sudden revolution, where everything changes in a moment. Gramsci, the head of the Italian Communist party, was thrown in prison by Benito Mussolini, where he speculated on the failure of Marxist revolution in his Prison Notebooks, and attributed the failure to the cultural hegemony of the bourgeois oppressor class. Dutschke built on Gramsci’s writings by proposing a long march through the cultural institutions of society – the church, entertainment, civil service, educational faculties, family institutions and marriage – to replace the dominant culture and replace it with revolutionary godless cultural Marxism.

  2. Reusable bags are OK as long as they are strictly kept in one’s house, car or garage. These bags should never be in public areas such as stores and especially stores that sell food.

    The do-gooder group needs to find better projects for young girls that are not a health risk.

    KANSAS CITY, Kansas, May 2, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — A Catholic archbishop and his archdiocese are cutting all ties with the Girl Scouts because of their promotion of abortion and its flagship enterprise Planned Parenthood.

    Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas, issued a pastoral encyclical directing his flock to “begin the process of transitioning away from the hosting of parish Girl Scouts troops and toward the chartering of American Heritage Girls troops.”

    American Heritage Girls is an alternative to the Girl Scouts USA that does not have any ties with morally questionable organizations such as Planned Parenthood.

  4. I stopped buying their cookies years ago after this scandal broke: https://www.austinchronicle.com/food/2016-01-22/selling-feminism-one-box-at-a-time/

    excerpt: In her master’s thesis, “The Baking of a Cultural Icon,” journalist Jennifer Graue of the San Jose Mercury News examines Girl Scout cookies as part of the fabric of American cultural identity.

    “They’ve become a non-food because they’re so symbolic,” she says.

    Marxist scholars call the process by which a product stands in for an idea “reification,” and it’s part of how capitalism turns people and social relationships into things.

  5. Now the haters attack the Girl Scouts of all organizations! Wow.

    A crazy bishop goes nuts on his superstitions and the Girl Scouts are Public Enemy #1 on the Hateblog.

    What’s next?

  6. The Girl Scouts = an evil organization. The Ku Klux Klan = a fine American Institution. This is what makes this sewer sunshine blog the laughing stock of the entire Milky Way galaxy. Stay tuned…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, meeeeeeoooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww…

  7. The microbiology of grocery stores and life.

    A milliliter of average freshwater lake has approximately 2 million bacteria and 5 million viruses.

    Your shoelaces dangle down there at floor level. You walk into public restrooms then into your house. You touch those dirty laces and shoes.

    You drink from a public water fountain and the flow brings bacteria and viruses from the mouths of others to you. The micro spray from the drops that escape and fall into the basin ends up in you mouth.

    You go to the grocery store, touch the shopping cart or basket handles. How many people have touched your produce between field and your cart? How clean do you think is the checkout belt? The hands of the cashier and bagger who touch all your food?

    My reusable bags are not going to hurt you or me, whether they were made by liberals, conservatives, or scouts.

  8. Not a good argument, Martin. No one could know how do-gooders using reusable bags store these. What do these bags touch in the house? A house with dogs or cats that is not the cleanest perhaps? Or, the homeowner is filthy. And, then those bags are put on the checkout counter. No thanks. New paper or plastic bags at the food stores are the safest way to package food items. Reusable bags ought to be banned from bringing in and using in food stores.
