Excited that a display about the Interwoven textile piece will form part of this exhibition! Laura created a beautiful section for Interwoven, and samples of her work will be shown at Brantwood on 27th July.
@BluePatchTeam@RuskinsFriends Looking forward to being part of this exhibition, with photos and samples showing Walk for Earth's 'Interwoven' piece as it takes shape. Begun in 2022 by 15 loom weavers as Falco and I walked the UK, it will be offered as a gift to honour Vanuatu's leadership on #ecocidelaw
Exciting news - the nettle dress will be on display at @RuskinsFriends for ‘Pull My Thread’. The Blue Patch exhibition will explore sustainable textiles, from couture to hand weave, upcycling to bio-textiles.

@JohnKerry let your climate legacy be that you prevented a planetary death warrant being signed at Cop28. Please, use your power to support life, not to harm it.
“The planet is desperate for visionary leadership [and] policy that creates an equitable transition away from fossil fuels, and into climate emergency mode as a society.” #ecocidelaw would set an international legal incentive for that leadership and policy.
I don't know how it is possible that Biden doesn't understand all that is at stake here, but, based on his consistent eagerness to expand fossil fuels, I am convinced he does not.
He must declare climate emergency. Now.

“Governments, companies and individuals need to urgently squeeze down emissions to insulate ourselves as far as possible from what we may face.” They can also step up support for #ecocidelaw - the legal framework for staying within the planetary boundaries that support life.

Cereal crop in southern Europe expected to be up to 60% down on last year.
Another example of why farmers must realise their enemy is climate + ecological breakdown, NOT those seeking to prevent it.

I walked through Lancashire with Falco on our Walk for Earth, and visited Lancaster. I spoke to locals very worried about the climate crisis. Please sign this, the form is pre-filled and it’s very easy to do.
Local council plan to keep people warm & cut fuel bills & CO2 by forcing developers to build zero carbon homes has been BLOCKED at the last minute by a Govt official!

Can't believe what I'm hearing. Swift bricks aren't even controversial. They're a cheap, easy way to restore our dwindling bird population. Yet neither Tory Minister, nor Lab opposition, will commit to make them mandatory. What planet are they on?? @Natures_Voice@WriterHannahBT
Our life support systems are struggling, and #ecocidelaw would help turn this around. @theresecoffey, please will you support the progress of ecocide law?
Crossing the Wye was a bit like many moments on our walk: you’re looking at an example of something you’ve grown up knowing as a source of joy and constant renewal, but it’s tainted with a knowledge which you can’t push aside any longer. [Thread]
#ecocide “means unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or longterm damage to the environment being caused by those acts.”
