Eco bags are not very popular in Ukraine. People in shops are always surprised when I say "pakiecik nie nużny" and I put all stuff into one of my bags (beige one from Riga, red one from Rzeszów or green one from Toruń). To get a plastic bag you have to pay for it. But here, if you don't buy it and have your own bag it could mean that you are mean. That's what I heard from one of my friends. Or even two of my friends. In Poland eco bags are trendy. And I think soon they will be trendy in Ukraine as well.
But, to make them trendy someone has to show them to the society, right? So a non-governmental arts foundation IZOLYATSIA organized very nice eco-oriented workshops of decorating/making bags.
