In a bid to help promote the more sustainable and conscious side of Christmas consumerism, The SFD duo (Geraldine and Taz) are returning to The River Lee hotel for a day of conscious thrifting and sustainable chats – and you're invited!
Taking place on Sunday Dec 8th, Sustainable Fashion Dublin are joining up with The River Lee to host a triage of events, including a Conscious Christmas Flea Market, a Sustainabili-tea afternoon tea, and a DIY wrapping paper workshop.

Explore the locally-sourced, sustainable, and thrifty gifts you can give your loved ones this Christmas
An afternoon enjoying The River Lee's AWARD WINNING Modern Botany Afternoon Tea whilst learning about the easy changes you can make towards having a more sustainable Christmas
Repak has reported that every Christmas the population of Ireland generates upwards of 80,000 TONNES of packaging waste. Learning a few easy ways to reduce your waste this silly season can make a big impact.
NOTE: This trip from Dublin to Cork will be 100% carbon neutral as Geraldine and Taz will be offsetting the carbon emissions generated from their journey from Dublin-Cork via the Vita.ie carbon calculator. Vita is a brilliant Irish NGO that is fighting poverty and climate change by supporting community-led programmes in Africa. These include climate-smart agriculture projects, female-led workshops for safer and more fuel-efficient cook stoves, improved and sustainable irrigation systems, and solar energy initiatives.
If you want to offset your own carbon emissions (generated from your car journeys/ summer holiday flights/ daily living) you can do so here.
