Little Green Change is partnering with a number of charities, local authorities, businesses and individuals to run environmental events throughout the year.
We'll also have our stall at a number of external events and fairs throughout the year.
Be the first to find out about new events as they are promoted by signing up to our e-news, or by following us on Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and/or LinkedIn.
Take part in a Little Green Change competition or challenge. Remember to send us your entry photos to be in with a chance of winning one of our great prizes.
Terms and conditions apply.
Transforming Textiles Competition
Can you turn pre-loved textiles into something fabulous? Whether it's a stained t-shirt, a torn pair of jeans, or an unwanted duvet cover, the only rule of this competition is nothing can be purchased new - unless it's second hand, for example from a charity shop and proof of purchase can be provided.
The environmental problem: According to the UN, the fashion industry produces up to 8% of global carbon emissions, with dyeing textiles being the second-largest cause of water pollution globally. With tonnes of textiles being burned or buried in landfill sites every day, and workers in the global textile industry often being poorly paid and working in appalling conditions, it makes sense for us to reuse and upcycle whenever we can.
How to enter: Send us a photo of you making your item, and one of you with your finished creation, to info@littlegreenchange.com. One winning entry will be selected from the Junior category (ages 8-13) and one from the Senior category (ages 14-19). Entries will be accepted from individuals and from schools. Deadline: Friday 21st June 2024. Terms and conditions apply.
