draws to a close, we&rsquo;re excited to announce our new online game Threads - a fun way to help young people (and adults!) understand the social and environmental impacts of the fashion industry and how we can all take easy, money saving actions for positive change.<br /> The fashion industry accounts for 10% of annual global carbon emissions. It uses 93 billion cubic metres of water and accounts for &frac12; million tonnes of microfibres in the oceans every year. There are simple actions we can all take, and these are covered in the game: <ul> <li> Valuing our clothes &ndash; buying less and using for longer thereby reducing textile waste and carbon emissions.</li> <li> Hearing garment workers&rsquo; stories and campaigning for change for fair wages and working conditions.</li> <li> Make best use of every garment! Discover what you can do to prolong the life of your clothes, by mending, customising, swapping.</li> <li> Think before you wash to avoid microfibre shedding and save electricity, water (and money!) and dry clothes without a tumble dryer where possible.</li> </ul> The game follows the inside story of an item of clothing, from creation to disposal!<br /> <em>&ldquo;The game is absolutely fantastic!&rdquo;</em> Fashion Revolution</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" id="x_mceColumnContainer" style="padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;vertical-align:top;"> <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:#3f7e44;border-radius:0;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;"> <a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="4" data-ogsc="" href="https://globalgoalscentre.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a3253c944969af879d95b6a38&amp;id=b8c7140279&amp;e=c32bb0df6b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here to play the game</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td id="x_mceColumnContainer" style="padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:48px;padding-left:48px;vertical-align:top;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="min-width:100%;border-top:2px solid #d0d0d0;vertical-align:top;"> &nbsp;</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td id="x_mceColumnContainer" style="padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:48px;padding-left:48px;vertical-align:top;"> <div data-ogsc="" style="font-size:20px;text-align:center;width:100%;"> <h3 data-ogsc=""> Free Threads Education Resources</h3> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" id="x_mceColumnContainer" style="padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;vertical-align:top;"> <a data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="5" data-ogsc="" href="https://globalgoalscentre.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a3253c944969af879d95b6a38&amp;id=9902a4be3e&amp;e=c32bb0df6b" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="display:block;" target="_blank"><img alt="gcc m22 3" data-imagetype="External" role="presentation" src="/Images/content/1462/1166180.jpg" style="border: 0px none; max-width: 100%; display: block;" width="400" /></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td id="x_mceColumnContainer" style="padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:48px;padding-left:48px;vertical-align:top;"> <div data-ogsc="" style="font-size:20px;text-align:left;width:100%;"> In our schools workshops and through UWE research we have been surprised how few children and adults know about the impact of the clothes we wear.

As well as our installation at the Bristol Beacon, enhanced by a beautiful tree mural from street artist Farrah Fortnum, the films were played on Millennium Square big screen, discussed in Festival of the Future City and City Gathering and Film 13 was played and discussed in the Green Zone at COP itself!<br /> Posters of the heroes were on display across the city during COP and beyond. Tara Miran (hero for Goal 5) says &ldquo;As someone who has lived experience of inequalities and being &#39;marginalised&#39;, the recognition and representation by Global Goals Centre will be a memorable one for me forever.&rdquo;<br /> There have been over 49,000 views of the films and thousands of social media engagements.
