Last night I started unravelling a well worn yellow knit top to add to my yarn 🧶 collection for a future project and then I thought to myself 🤔 ‘that pattern would work well as a dish cloth’. So I cut a square, secured the ends with the yarn I’d already unravelled, and Bob’s ya uncle! . . . #waronwaste #zerowaste #repurpose #reuse #stitched #dishclothknitting #craftavism #craftavist #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #knittingyarn #yarntherapy #recycledyarn #reducereuserecycle #choosetoreuse #reuserevolution #wastenot #wastenotwantnot #reduceconsumption #buyerarchyofneeds #usewhatyouhavealready #resourceful #womenagainstwaste #womenagainstwastewarragul

Where will you be on Friday? Will you join millions of people around the world in challenging those putting profit ahead of the well-being of everyday people? The climate crisis is our biggest opportunity to build a fairer society and economy that works for people and our planet. The only thing that’ll fix this crisis is lots of people like you and me organising in our communities and taking to the streets to push the politicians and polluters responsible for this crisis. World leaders will be meeting 3 days after the Global #ClimateStrike for an emergency climate summit. They need to walk into that meeting with our voices and demands ringing in their ears. #climatechangeisreal #climatecrisis #climatechange #climateaction #climatejustice #climateemergency #peopleandplanetbeforeprofit #thereisnoplanetb #thisisnotbusinessasusual #zerowaste #waronwaste #consciousconsumption #circulareconomy #protest #standupandbeheard #standupandbecounted #gippsland #traralgon #extinctionrebelliongippsland #schoolstudentsstrike #latrobecity

My jars and boxes of sorted bits and pieces really come in handy at times like this. I was thinking through how I will identify my volunteer helpers on the weekend in a waste free way and decided to use paper/card tags secured with safety pins. Went to my cupboard to look through the paper scraps to see what would work and counted the safety pins 🧷 that I’ve saved in a jar from clothing tags 🏷 and other things over time. Wouldn’t you know it, I have exactly the right amount. 😎
