Cristian: Hi Faith. Welcome at Entrepreneur Interviews. First tell us a little bit about yourself.

Faith: Hi Cristian. The environment and other ethical issues have been something that have always interested me and I believe to be of the utmost importance. I have always tried to put this into practice in my everyday life and raise awareness of these issues through my work as a teacher and the various volunteer positions I have taken over the years at Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and Amnesty.

Cristian: And a few words about your business?

Faith: Bags of Change is totally unique. Our beautiful shopping bags are not only attractive and affordable alternatives to throwaway plastic bags, they also give customers a great discount incentive to shop ethically in over 70 shops across the UK, www.bagsofchange.co.uk/shops
So, by helping to change people’s shopping habits, we’re also helping to reduce the amount of plastic bags used in the UK and supporting small, independent, ethical retailers at the same time.
As we like to say, ‘It’s all in the bag!’
