This is going to be a talk and discussion about greenwashing, ecosocialism, and how green capitalism is unsustainable both in the short and long run to address the climate breakdown currently occuring. This is going to be really interesting, and we can't wait to see the discussion that follows.

Looking for some sustainable new clothes? Perhaps have a few pieces in your wardrobe that are due a better life? Just plain sick of fast fashion companies trying to sell us new s**t we and the planet don't need? Well hello there... 😏

Join us in the Quad Room for this event in collaboration with Amnesty-International UCD, UCD Young Greens and UCD Hortsoc!
This is a bilingual event - embrace it! But please don't be discouraged. All are welcome!!

How it all goes down...

We have an informal "bring-one-take-one" policy on clothes (maximum three items per person) and we also accept donations to the chosen SU charities which this year are the Rape Crisis Network Ireland and Enable Ireland. If you don't have anything to give though fear not friend - we will certainly not turn you away and welcome anyone and everyone to come along to join our circular fashion fam! Preloved or new items of clothing of all styles, genders and size will be accepted (Bellbottoms. Button ups. Bodycons. Bring them on!) 🥳 Think rummaging through your friend's wardrobe for an outfit- except all of UCD is your friend! 🙌

Some general GUIDELINES in terms of what to bring:
- Only garments in wearable and clean condition will be accepted
- Accessories and footwear of high quality can also be submitted
- Underwear/tights/socks will not be accepted at this event
- Don't forget your sense of curiosity & that thrifty mindset!

Fast fashion is destroying our planet, violates human rights all over the world and pollutes our environment through its constant cycle of make, sell, consume. It's time for a new way for fashion. Let's rebel and show those greedy corporations we can look pretty fine whilst doing so ✊🌎

We’re holding an EGM quite late because of the elections, but we wanted to create some new roles so people can try them out for a few weeks before committing to them for the 20/21 academic year. We are creating between 4 positions and electing a new treasurer. Also some constitutional changes will be voted on, as described in our email. VEGAN PIZZA AFTERWARDS! Room in Newman : B109

The roles and what they entail are detailed below. We’ll also be planning events for the rest of the semester, and talking about campaigns that we’re involved in. If you haven’t gotten involved before now is a great time to do so.

Role 1 - Public Relations Officer (2): You and your co-officer will be in charge of managing the social media of the society. You’ll answer questions and relay them onto the Auditor/Secretary where needed. You’ll design graphics and post them on social media. You’ll also create Facebook events. This sounds like a lot, but you’ll be in a pair, and will be helped by the secretary and events officers.

Role 2 - Campaigns Officer (2): You and your co-officer will be in charge of coordinating the society’s involvement and response to campaigns happening on or off campus. You’ll attend meetings of these campaigns where possible and make sure the society is informed about upcoming campaign events.

Treasurer: The Treasurer is in charge with maintaining the society’s bank account and reporting on the financial status of the society to both the society and the finance committee. This is in association with the Senior Treasurer. (This role in particular is very important, and those wishing to apply for this role will be contacted directly)

Grace O'Sullivan has been a Greenpeace activist, Green Party Senator and is now an MEP with the European Greens. She'll be coming into UCD on Wednesday from 4-5 to chat to us about environmentalism, European politics and everything in between. This is not to be missed.
There will also be Pizza after!

We are moving the party to the Quad Room this time round to bring you a pop up event that's guaranteed to be messy (but in a good way! 😉). If you've been to any of our swaps in the past you'll know this is a chance to get your hands on some new sustainable threads that you won't want to miss...
