World Environment Day
It’s World Environment Day- a chance to consider the adventurous ways that we can take sustainable action and feel all the benefits.
Great news-we have rolled out the Seed Library and it is now running from Clarkston library and Mearns library as well as the original, Thornliebank Library.
We are collecting seeds, storing and giving out flower seeds to the local community for people to grow in their own spaces. Check out the previous Blog post to find out about the Seed Library and how you can play a part!
Bits and Bobs
We have also started up a ‘Bits and Bobs’ library at the above locations. We have jars ready with some buttons, thread and small haberdashery items that can come in handy. Like the seed library, you can donate any unwanted buttons, thread, zips etc. Anyone can come along and help themselves to any items available that they may need and this will hopefully help to cut down on buying new each time! Check out the Bits and Bobs jars at Clarkston, Mearns and Thornliebank.
Fast Fashion is a rapidly growing industry with real repercussion on wildlife and the environment. According to the Centre for Biological Diversity:
‘The fast fashion industry is a significant contributor to
the climate crisis, responsible for as much as 10% of
global carbon dioxide emissions.’
