We were delighted to host the EalingSewnUp Sustainable Fashion Show & Clothes Swap.
It was a great afternoon of sustainability, creativity and community that will hopefully to lead to more clothes swaps and sustainable fashion events.
Check out this short film of the day!
Not only was the event successful it also made a real difference as the stats below reveal. Together, #EalingSewnUp:
- brought together over 50 volunteers and 14 organisations to launch Ealing’s first ever sustainable fashion show & clothes swap
- saved over 350kg of clothes from waste (the equivalent weight to a grand piano)*
- saved over 3 tonnes of carbon emissions (the equivalent to driving a car for 8,176 miles, that’s nearly the distance from London to Darwin)*
- saved over half a million litres of water (enough water for 626 people to drink for a year)*
These are amazing achievements and demonstrate what our West London community can achieve together! If you want to organise a clothes swap or sustainable fashion event, get in touch with contact@actforealing.org for support.
