CRAFTIVISM IN ACTION - Green Hearts

After reading our CRAFTIVISM blog were you inspired to think about how you could help one of your favourite causes? 

If, like many people around the world, you are concerned about climate change and the effects it's having on our planet you may be interested in and like to support The Climate Coalition's Show the Love campaign. Every February since 2015 thousands of people have supported this campaign. 

This year, 2019, during February people will have been crafting green hearts showing their support of protecting the things they love and treasure on our planet from the effects of climate change. Green hearts will be used to covey their messages of concern. Green hearts will have been popping up everywhere between 4th to 25th February. 

What if you didn't take an active part this year but wish you had? That's okay. Give yourself a head start planning for next year now.

Craft your own green heart/s in any medium you wish. Use an old favourite or try something new. Free knitting and crochet patterns can be found on-line but remember the choice of mediums is endless.

Thank you for dropping by and Happy Crafting. See you next time.

You can do amazing things with Wooden Hearts 💚

CRAFTIVISM

What is CRAFTIVISM?

Wikipedia tells us this term was coined in 2003 by writer Betsy Greer who joined the words 'craft' and 'activism' together.

The word activism sounds fierce, but in this instance it's activism with a heart. People helping people through their crafting. Using craft in unique ways to make a point, to help other people, to lend support, to start the wave of change. To help without stamping feet, raising voices or creating a fuss. 


Sarah Corbett, in her book How to be a Craftivist - The art of gentle protest writes about how she has become a gentle craftivist.
