Noosa Council are seeking volunteers for the Give a Sheet Textile Drive on Saturday Nov 16 at The J Noosa. The event will go from 8am-2pm. There will be two 3-hour shifts for volunteers to choose from:
· 8am-11am
· 11am-2pm
All volunteers will receive a t-shirt and lunch, and responsibilities will include textile sortation, boot unloading, traffic control, and floaters.
ZEN members may have a special interest in this issue because textile waste is a significant contributor to global emissions:
· The clothing industry contribute up to 5% of global carbon emissions more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined (WEF 2021).
· One kilogram of unwanted textile waste processed by BlockTexx is equivalent to 30kgs of CO2 emissions.
To volunteer, please contact Jordan Vance here.
