SUMMARY:The Joy of Mending
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the clothing industry is responsible for 4-9% of total global greenhouse gas emissions? Would you like to learn more about hand mending and darning and be able to save money, ‘love’ your clothes longer and decrease your own environmental impact?\nThis mending workshop will cover the environmental impact of textiles, how to choose textiles with their full lifecycle in mind and hands-on stitchery instruction.   We will sew on buttons and learn a few basic stitches and when to use them.\nInstruction provided by members of the New Westminster Climate Action Hub.\nAges 12+\nSupplies provided.\nPresenters:\nCheryl Lewis is a leader in climate solutions at the personal and community. For example, her home now includes climate-friendly solutions such as a heat pump, solar panels and high-level energy efficiency. She also presents climate solution sessions at businesses and facilitates sessions with the RegenerateBC team. She is a long-time sewer and mender, creating practical solutions for various sewing problems.\nKristen Andrews attended a RegenerateBC course a few years ago on getting into climate action. The course inspired her to volunteer to teach others about climate solutions and to be a part of creating the New Westminster Climate Action Hub, an organization focused on speeding up climate solutions adoption in our own community. She has a background working in public libraries and is passionate about public education on this most important topic of our times. Kristen is an avid quilter interested in sustainability in textile crafts.\n \n\nThis class is part of BC Library Association’s Climate Action Week, a province-wide initiative to highlight the ways communities and libraries are taking action in the climate crisis. Check out all the climate action events at the New Westminster Public Library from November 2-8! nwpl.ca/climate\n
