Some people still have the flags on their cars, but what are you doing with all the flags you bought for WC2010?
I know of some people who bought flags from every single country that participated.
Well, don’t throw them away quite yet. Firstly, there’s a Keep Flying campaign going on trying to encourage people to carry on flying them for the next month. And in fact, there’s an entire Keep the Flag Flying website that’s been set up too!
If you do insist on not using them though, here’s an even more brilliant idea! Donate it!
That’s right
it’s not that ludicrous… there’s an organisation in East London called Recycled Inc that’s wanting to use the old flags to make bags and shirts etc to sell to support vegetable gardens in their local schools. I like that idea!!
And they have a blog too… check it out, and send them your flags

Thank you so much for your support, we should all be proudly South African and keep the flags flying high! Watch our blog for updates on the products made from Wave Your Flag project and also the schools we put flags at.

I am keeping mine on my car for as long as possible though
I hope other people do too

Another thing that people can consider is giving their flags to creches because they always need them for concerts that the children do and to teach children about all the countries flags ect. Giving back to education
