Super inspired to chat with Sarah Corbett of @Craftivists over on the blog. Love her gentle protest approach to activism through craft - aka Craftivism. Help to make the world a better place one stitch at a time #craftivism #gentleprotest #HandmadeHour frombritainwithlove.com/sara…

A perfect example of the power that consumers can have. We all called for an end to the plastic microbead. Petitions were started, campaigns were launched, our voice was heard. Today #Microbeads have been banned in the UK! #PlasticWaste #EthicalHour xitter.cf/PeterWard09/status/950…
