Stitches For Survival

Craftivism for COP26: We are knitting, crocheting, stitching and crafting to put Earth - not money - centre stage at the climate talks.

The inspiring story of the #ComfortBlanketForOurPanet and it's journey to #COP26 (in heels by bike - amazing!) The video ends on Glasgow Green with the #Stitches4Survival panels 💚💙💚💙 #ClimateAction https://t.co/YdrjJk4kcz

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?

Setting up Bristol #stitches4survival panels for a joining session with @AidBoxCommunity today 💚💙💚💙💚💙

[Tamara Gooderham @craftyescapism]

At the @AidBoxCommunity shop 💚💙💚💙 We are so excited about joining their women's craft group this month and next to repurpose our Bristol #stitches4survival panels into blankets for them. #craftivism #climateaction

[Women's Climate Strike @womenscs]

6 weeks today it's the International Women's Day of Climate Action: The Wait of the World. Women are disproportionately carry the burden ⚖️of waiting 🕖for climate action.

♀️ around the world are organising, but need others to join them 👇https://t.co/iauzycNuMT

[Women's Climate Strike @womenscs]

📢#WomensClimateStrike take global action on 8th March 📢

📢#FridaysForFuture take global action on 25th March 📢

📢#ExtinctionRebellion start their mass rebellion on 9th April📢

Over a month of #ClimateAction - different groups, different tactics, one aim.

Will you be there?

[Women's Climate Strike @womenscs]

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?

[Green Heart Collective 💚 @NewGreenHeart]

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. 💚

@eilidhrobb03 Read this blog on active hope and what we learnt from our #craftivism for #COP26 https://t.co/hwk4G6FK3p

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”

Who's up for some more #craftivism 👇

[Women's Climate Strike @womenscs]

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].

@mvmorton We like this very much 💚👍

[Stitches For Survival @StitchesFor]

Brilliant! #Craftivism continues 💚

[Artlink Edinburgh @ArtlinkEdin]

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.
