    Just read this lovely comment on LinkedIn post about the Le Mans film:

    ”The attention to craft is evident, even with this impressive scale of production! And, yes, I have been replaying the scenes of mixing, milling, and testing, because apparently I just can’t stop watching paint footage. 🙂 ”

    Check out the post and please do share in your networks!

    As many of you may be aware, last week (17th July) there was a devastating coach crash involving children from our local middle school in Minehead.  The children were returning from a school trip to Exmoor Zoo at the time.  Sadly, 1 child lost his life that day and 2 children remain in hospital in Bristol. 

    This has shaken many of us here at Snazaroo as this is our local community and many of us know children or adults affected. The journey to recovery, both physically and emotionally for the children, staff and their families will be a long one.  Like many members of the community, we have placed flowers at the school gates to show our thoughts are with those involved.

    We have now been approached by the charity Somerset Community Foundation who have launched ‘Together for West Somerset Appeal’.   The Appeal is open to individuals, businesses, charitable trusts and statutory partners who would like to donate and show their support.

    The immediate focus of the appeal is to provide swift, direct support to those who have been directly affected by this tragic incident.  Longer term, the plan is to support:

    • individuals experiencing psychological distress, injury or hardship
    • children and staff from Minehead Middle School
    • people in the wider community affected by the events
    • local organisations providing emotional wellbeing, practical support and coordination in the response.

    Given that Snazaroo is a business which has deep roots within this West Somerset community, we wanted to reach out to our larger Colart family to see if anyone would like to donate to this appeal. 

    The Appeal will be managed with guidance from Somerset Council, Somerset NHS, local schools, the National Emergencies Trust, the Fundraising Regulator and The Charity Commission. 

    Donations to the Appeal can be made using the following link.

    How to Donate to The Together for West Somerset Appeal

    Thank you for standing with West Somerset at this incredibly difficult time.

Creating Impact Tip
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .

“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water.  At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.

"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
