@xrfashionaction brings #OxfordCircus to a standstill to demonstrate against 'disposable' #fastfashion but also #government inaction on #climatechange. #Sustainablefashion brands and students from #art and fashion colleges and universities showcased sustainable fashion and #bodyprotest designs. The theme “Fashion: Circus of #Excess” addresses issues of #unsustainability in #fashion and how its practices impact other species #XrFashionCircus @XrFashionAction #XrFashionAction #internationalrebellion #ExtinctionRebellion @extinctionrebellion #internationalrebellion

#Women often plant and harvest on the farm, look after #children, carry water, collect wood, cook and clean for the family, and transport the #cocoabeans to market - but they have far fewer rights than men. Plus they rarely own land, which means they get even less of the profits from cocoa. To raise awareness of the #challenges faced by women cocoa farmers, during #FairtradeFortnight2019, @fairtradeuk #SheDeserves #campaign will tell the story of the lives of #cocoafarmers in Côte D'Ivoire, through the eyes of women.

Goal 11: #SustainableCities and Communities. Goal 11 aims to create a future where cities provide opportunities for everyone to develop both socially and economically, and which become hubs for culture, productivity, commerce - and much more! How can you help? Take an active interest in the governance and management of your city. Develop a vision for your building, street, and neighbourhood, and advocate for the city you want.

#Repost @textilesofindia with @download_repost ・・・ @textilesofindia The women of Kutch She is subtle strength . She is quiet courage . Her indomitable spirit is her wealth . Her inner voice is her inspiration . She is the season of change . She is the fountainhead of progress . She is the source and force of Life. . An expanse of white salt encrusted desert plain, sparkling blue waters of the ocean, splashes of colour on a barren landscape, and intricately embroidered clothes worn by smiling people… think of Kutch and these are the images that flash through the mind. Think again and you will see the brilliant hues of Kutch – the bright orange and red bandinis fluttering in the air, the glittering mirrors on backless blouses reflecting them, the earthy tones of the pots and pans, the intricate threads of the embroidery creating a different pattern . Kutch work is one of the most exquisite arts and crafts which literally takes your breath away but it is the stories of the craftswomen which are even more inspiring. ・・・ #Repost @nattysingh ・・・ @textilesofindia 🇮🇳 .

The #SDGs #sustainabledevelopmentgoals are more perceptive and aware than we’d expect any international document to be, highlighting the values we need to achieve a #sustainable world such as partnership, a focus on the weakest members in society (including #women and #children in poorer countries) and the role of #youth in effecting change.
