Brave woman @marysrpar in Houston, Renfrewshire, Scotland on her 1st #WomensClimateStrike/#Fridays4Future strike! She got aversion/sniggering, curiosity, thumbs up & a couple of chats. Amazing people like this, going out into communities across the world, give this striker hope.

UK consumers throw away 227,000 MILES of wrapping paper each Christmas. 🎀 That's enough to wrap around the Earth more than eight times. 🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁 Do you use reusable and recycled packaging? #smallbiz #elevenseshour

We are an unfunded, grassroots group instigated by 2 ♀️ from a small town in northern England & quickly taken up by a few others locally, nationally & internationally. We'd love other women to join in setting up regular climate protests in their local areas. Could this be you?

You'll see lots of posts about #BlueMonday 💙 today - but there isn't actually any real science behind it❌ Looking after ourselves should be part of our daily routine. So beware of the brands trying to enforce retail therapy on you! Buy what you need and look after yourself. 💚

Share if you think that individual actions are better than no actions at all Dalai Lama once said: “if you think you’re too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito” #ClimateActionNow #ClimateEmergency #SDGs #FossilFuels #renewableenergy #ClimateCrisis

Who's up for some more #craftivism 👇
This International Women's Day (8th March 2022) we ask women to self-organise and gather near parliaments, or in your local area to protest lack of climate action. Be in touch if you are thinking of organising. More soon. [pictured is Women's Climate Striker @mam3ko on IWD 2021].

Brilliant! #Craftivism continues 💚
Common Thread at The Glasshouses joined craftivist group @StitchesFor in producing panels with climate messages for COP26. Some panels were finished too late for the event so the project are creating their own display at the REH. Find out more: https://t.co/eVZwP1zwDQ

#Craftivism started loooooong before Covid! And with all ages and genders involved. Oh, well, we'll still be here next time @BBCNews think stitching just came back into fashion!
‘Revival’ of knitting gets noticed c every 10-20 years. This ‘granny’ knitted 1st jumper (with cable) at 11, school cardi at 12. 1000s made giant scarf for COP26 with @StitchesFor Survival. Now that WAS a story, @BBCNews PS It’s a crochet hook.

For folks who didn't get to Glasgow for COP26. You may not have seen the Stitches for Survival mass craftivism event. We really like this panel which was part of the NE group. It was inspired by our project and the Hadrian's Wall landscape, thanks for thinking of us Siobhan 😃
