The Tights Ball

Our ambition is to find a way of re-purposing unwanted hosiery into desirable material that does not end up in a landfill...

Has creating the Tights Ball been worth it?

One part of the Tights Ball team, John Mc will be hosting table 1 this evening asking whether EcoArt has any purpose.

Do you think its a waste of time or just a waste of nylon?

We believe that NET ZERO is a sop!
But at least it creates some awareness

Your thoughts?

Climate emergency doubts were eleminated last night as Storm Ida dropped 8cm of rain on Central Park in 1hr, tornadoes in New Jersey - Yes! New Jersey!

Behaviour change will only happen with engaged dialogue.
Host a table - lead the discussion!

4/4 'close to two-thirds (63%) of the releases are due to first the laundry of synthetic textiles (35%), and second to the erosion of tyres while driving [...]Should natural rubber be included tyres would contribute to almost half of the releases (46%)'

1/4 Microplastics from Driving
Surprised by the findings in this excellent report** on plastic pollution in the seas. With our Tights Ball research and @wasteagency we are very familiar with the issues surrounding textiles and microplastics, however ...

[The Tights Ball @tightsball]

3/4 > 'plastic quantity equivalent to every human tossing one conventional light grocery plastic bag per week into the ocean.'
>'(98%) of the losses of primary microplastics are generated from land-based activities.'
