The first time I noticed a product in our house made out of jute was when I saw the heavy kitchen chair landing on top of our little black labrador pup.

The environmental campaign against plastic bags seems to have gone global now - which is good news for wildlife and beaches, and also for jute factories in India. A great clip to use as part of any scheme of work looking at changes in the polical/environmental external environment:
