20 HRS AGO - My solutions aren’t exactly kosher, but I don’t care a jotMending is back in fashion. As more of us wake up to the 1.2bn tonnes of carbon produced by the global fashion industry annually, the impact of our wardrobes on the environment is getting harder to ignore. Harder than hiding, on the back hangers, that ugly but expensive top you wore a single time.I messed about during home economics and textiles lessons at school. I messed about in most lessons, in fairness, but particularly when it came to learning to use a sewing machine. Put one in front of me and it might as well be the Enigma machine.

Why Britons are now dreaming of a green Christmas

24/11/2019 - Guilty about wheelie bins full of wrapping paper and drawers of unwanted gifts, many families are ditching frenzied shopping for more sustainable celebrationsEveryone used to call Helen Tandy “the Grinch” at Christmas. She would get odd looks and long sighs from friends and family when she tried to explain that she didn’t want gifts and wouldn’t be buying any either. Christmas crackers – “a horrible waste: a bang, some tat and then it’s all chucked away” – were banned at her home. Shiny wrapping paper (which can’t be recycled) made way years ago for plain brown or newspaper, then, last December, she tried furoshiki – the Japanese art of fabric wrapping. Tandy’s artificial tree will next month be wheeled out for its 31st Christmas, and will be decorated from a carefully stored box of decorations handmade or collected, one by one, over the years.“I didn’t want to get to the end of Christmas Day and look around and feel like we’d made a week’s worth of waste in just a few hours,” says Collapse
