🧵 Normalise repeating clothes/outfits at gigs if you’re an artist/audience or even in daily life. If you wear an outfit 50 times instead of 5, its carbon footprint is reduced by 400% Let’s be more responsible and sensible! #ReUse #Thrift #SaveThePlanet 1/3

2/3 Secondhand is the new organic! “When we buy preloved clothes, we do not add chemicals or production stress to the environment. Everything else is various shades of greenwashing.” — Jane Milburn

We all need to reduce our material footprint if we are serious about climate action. Join the @SelvedgeMag Wardrobe Revolution Weekend session tomorrow to hear from pioneers of slow design and textile activists selvedge.org/products/satur…

1/ This clip from @janemilburn's interview with Ros Studd RWYW validated our legacy project in under a minute. We too are free but to a point. For community, we do not charge for our time but in 2022 we're requesting donations for out-of-pocket expenses. youtube.com/clip/UgkxjqdLN…

@bnorry @janemilburn Mend It captured this clip of @sassbrown01 chatting about cool repair and mending spaces with Jane. We like the fact that you are trying to fill that space between free but having to book/wait for monthly events & on-demand but personal & not too pricey. youtube.com/clip/UgkxXZjGd…

Mountains of clothes washed up on Ghana beach show cost of fast fashion ... a very poor reflection on western consumerist society and why we need changed behaviours independent.co.uk/climate-change…

Collaborative soil-to-soil waste cotton research shows promise with energy costs and potential dye contaminants the only barriers to this regenerative model. Farm use emerges as option for textile waste says @CottonAustralia via @Grain_Central graincentral.com/news/farm-use-…

Sonya Philip @sonyaphilip sews her way out of clothing desert and wins: clothes fit her shape, variety, pride, creative expression and problem-solving ... loving relistening to this chat as I work on my Churchill Fellowship report #makingforwellbeing youtu.be/m7K645uFiyE

Good to see fresh data and progress towards a national clothing stewardship scheme to reduce textile waste. When in place, it will be funded by a levy of a few cents/item. Citizens, not consumers, respect and reuse of resources on the rise @AusFashCouncil theguardian.com/australia-news…
