“Something is working” #COP30

‘Something is working’: UN climate chief optimistic about green transition. #cop30

Exclusive: Simon Stiell believes economic benefits will compel countries to speed up climate action.

“We’re moving in the right direction,” he said. “Not fast enough, not deep enough, but [the progress countries have made on moving to a low-carbon economy] is showing that something is working. We need to find all the levers that are available to us, to see how we can accelerate further.”

CLOTHES-SWAP: SAT JULY 26th

Why a Clothes Swap? Got a wardrobe full of clothes and nothing to wear? We hear you.

1 in 3 women feel their clothes are outdated after less than three wears. We think that’s a waste. Clothes swaps are the perfect chance to refresh your wardrobe at a fraction of the price while doing something good for the planet. Join us in making a difference by choosing to swap, not shop.

How it works: Bring up to 10 items of clothing, accessories and shoes to swap. Everything must be freshly cleaned and in good condition. While we accept items in all shapes, styles and sizes, we don’t accept kid’s clothes.
The Token System: We operate using a tiered token system: bronze, silver and gold. We categorise items based on the type, brand, RRP and condition. You will be given relevant tokens in return for your items when you drop them off which you can use to exchange for items on the day.
We ask that clothes be dropped off in advance to keep things running smoothly on the day. Drop-off slots are listed below. 👇🏼

All the information you need is on the EventBrite Ticket page including how to buy your ticket, what to bring (and what not to bring!) and when it’s happening!

Once you’ve bought your ticket, pop into the Eco Action Hub at any of the above dates and times to drop off your items. Remember to bring up to 10 items only that are freshly washed and in good condition. We’ll categorise your items and exchange them for the relevant tokens.

Drop off Dates & Times

  • Saturday 26th July between 11am -12pm (1 hour before the event)

Clothes Swap Date & Time:

  • Saturday 26th July between 1pm – 3pm
  • Go home with a new wardrobe of clothes … !
