#Resolution6Rs was set up by myself and @foecymrucydd.bsky.social back in 2019. The aim is to challenge people to start the new year with a different kind of resolution...

#6Rs can help reduce the environmental impact of fashion consumption & make your shopping more responsible in 2025 & beyond...

When #Nessa & #TheDoctor, supported our #GreenCarpetWales challenge, which myself & @foecymrucydd.bsky.social launched at the #BAFTASCymru in 2019!

The challenge is a perfect example of #Resolution6Rs #Rethink: We asked all attendees to rethink their outfits & not buy new!

Every single sequin you see here is #SecondHand!
✨️
Having a #sustainable #PartySeason certainly doesn't need to be boring! 🤩
✨️
I have a love-hate relationship with #sequins, so my rule is I will only ever buy sequin clothes and fabrics that are secondhand.
✨️
Am I missing out?
Hell, no!! 🤩

This is what 🎄 means to me...

Families coming together and no shopping!

I was joined by children & families from my local community in Hendy yesterday for a creative #GreenFriday workshop!

The old t-shirt customising activity was a true winner!

Didn't they do amazing? 🌟

Nod #GwenerGwyrdd / #GreenFriday yw annog pobl i feddwl ddwywaith cyn i chi fynd i’r arwerthiannau a'r siop. Dim ond cwestiynu a ydych chi *angen* neu * eisiau* rhywbeth yw'r cam cyntaf i ddefnyddio'n fwy cyfrifol.

The aim of #GwenerGwyrdd / #GreenFriday is to encourage people to think twice before you hit the sales and shop #BlackFriday. Just questioning whether you *need* or *want* something is the first step to consuming more responsibly.

#GwenerGwyrdd Creative Idea 💡

Looking for a non shopping activity for #GreenFriday aka anti #BlackFriday? Then look no further.

"Y #DyddGwenerDu hwn, dw i'n gofyn i bawb feddwl cyn iddyn nhw siopa. Os oes angen i chi brynu ... Dywedwch NA i Ffasiwn Cyflym ac IE i frandiau bach"
💚
Cefnogwch #GwenerGwyrdd
💚
Mae angen ein cefnogaeth ar frandiau bach yn fwy nag erioed - bydd pryniant bach hyd yn oed yn gwneud eu diwrnod!

“This Black Friday I'm asking everyone to think before they shop. If you need to shop...Say NO to Fast Fashion and YES to small brands.”
💚
Support #GwenerGwyrdd this #BlackFriday
💚
Small brands need our support more than ever and even a small purchase will literally make their day!

Getting ready for #GwenerGwyrdd aka #BuyNothingDay

The perfect antidote to #BlackFriday ✊️

Secondhand t-shirt customised by me saying:

"Capitalism: I'm not buying it!

How are you prepping for #GreenFriday or #CitizenFriday this year? 🤔
November 20, 2024 at 8:28 AM
Dim ond 2 wythnos tan #GwenerGwyrdd aka #DiwrnodPrynuDimByd

Dewch draw i ddigwyddiad cymunedol #FfasiwnGynaliadwy arbennig i wneud neu greu - yn hytrach na siopa yn yr arwerthiannau’r #GwenerDu hwn!

gweithgareddau tecstilau ar gyfer pob oedran, gan gynnwys teuluoedd â phlant hefyd.

29/11/24 4-6pm
November 15, 2024 at 2:05 PM
Only 2 weeks until #GreenFriday aka #BuyNothingDay

Come along to a special community based #SustainableFashion event to repair, make or create - rather than shopping the sales this #BlackFriday!

Textiles activities for all ages, including families with children too.

Friday 29th Nov' - 4-6pm

This #BlackFriday I'm saying NO to overconsumption!

Dwi'n dweud NA i or-ddefnyddio’r #DyddGwenerDuhwn!

I thought I'd bring back #GreenFriday this year.

Roeddwn i'n meddwl y byddwn i'n dod â #GwenerGwyrdd yn ôl eleni.
