People have been enquiring whether our Calis Carnival eco-bags (see picture) are for sale.

These cloth bags were printed to advertise Calis and the 2010 Calis Carnival on the Turkey stand at Tourism Exhibitions in London, Holland, Germany and more recently in Izmir.
One of the main aims of the Calis Carnival Committee is to help increase tourism in the area and also to help the environment (one of the projects that we are looking at this year is a environmental/educational project for chldren). Eco-bags are already popular in UK but have only just started to be introduced in Turkey so it seemed a positive thing to do particularly when you see the damage that plastic bags can cause to wildlife.
We have a large number of these bags left so we are selling them at the cost price of 1TL each. This is not a fundraising item, it is a "help the environment" item and it is also publicity for Calis and the Carnival.
The bags are presently for sale on the committee stall at the monthly Calis Car Boot Sales and are also available at FETAV office in Fethiye and at the Nil Bar in Calis (from this weekend).
