Brave woman @marysrpar in Houston, Renfrewshire, Scotland on her 1st #WomensClimateStrike/#Fridays4Future strike! She got aversion/sniggering, curiosity, thumbs up & a couple of chats. Amazing people like this, going out into communities across the world, give this striker hope.

UK consumers throw away 227,000 MILES of wrapping paper each Christmas. 🎀
That's enough to wrap around the Earth more than eight times. 🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁
Do you use reusable and recycled packaging?

We are an unfunded, grassroots group instigated by 2 ♀️ from a small town in northern England & quickly taken up by a few others locally, nationally & internationally. We'd love other women to join in setting up regular climate protests in their local areas. Could this be you?

You'll see lots of posts about #BlueMonday 💙 today - but there isn't actually any real science behind it❌
Looking after ourselves should be part of our daily routine. So beware of the brands trying to enforce retail therapy on you! Buy what you need and look after yourself. 💚

Share if you think that individual actions are better than no actions at all
Dalai Lama once said: “if you think you’re too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito”

The takeaway I got from #COP26 is that there’s more good people than bad people
The number of individuals behind polluting industries are so few compared to the thousands of people in the streets marching for climate justice- we’ll overcome the challenge, we will not give up 💚

Stitching in solidarity, Fiona joined @StitchesFor to produce a panel for their 1.5 mile long Stitches for Survival scarf which is being used to campaign locally and nationally during COP26 and was on display at Glasgow Green on Nov 6th #TonicArts #Institches #Craftivism #COP26
ALT A woman in a pink top wearing a mask sits in front of a table which is covered in a large knitted panel. The panel has four sections which together read ‘COP26 Save Our Planet’ the sections are: blue, yellow, red and white striped, red, and multicoloured. The writing is formed with braiding.
ALT Fiona stands in front of the Glasshouses holding up the finished panel. Red geraniums and palm trees can be seen either side of her through the glass looking into the Glasshouses.
