Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country's
long-standing problems:garbage and poverty.It's called The Chip Bag Project.The
26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favour of local snack lovers:
Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash,donate them so she can turn them into
sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos,Lay's,to other favourites at two
locations in Detroit:a print shop and a clothing store,where Oleita and her volunteer helpers
collect them.After they clean the chip bags in hot soapy water,they slice them open,lay them
flat,and iron them together.It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag,and each takes
around 150 to 300 chip bags,depending on whether it's single-serve or family-size.The result is
a sleeping bag that is "waterproof,lightweight,and easy to carry around,Oleita told The
Detroit Neios.
Since its start in 2020,The Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags
and,as of last December,it has created 110 sleeping bags.Sure,it would be simpler to raise
money to buy new sleeping bags.But that's only half the goal for Oleita -whose family
moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life
and her fellow volunteers."We are committed to making an impact not only socially,but
also environmentally,"she said.
And,of course,there's the symbolism of salvaging bags that would otherwise be
abandoned in the trash and using them to help the homeless.It's a powerful reminder that
environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand.As Oleita told
wo.hourdetroit.com,"I think it's time to show connections between these issues."
