    Really good to see our brands shown so prominently, not only in the unique and beautiful Cornelissens, London.  But also, on the ever growing #londonpigment, who we had the brilliant opportunity to share a platform with at the UCLSlade symposium this year and to  discover their enthusiasm for our brands and our archive @vangoghhouse. Amazing work and install  by @Guy Peeke-Vout and UK sales and marketing, looks beautiful both instore and on instagram.

    Elephant was approached by the team at Somerset House (IG: @somersethouse) to support with art materials for its ‘This Bright Land’ event, which is a free community event open to all throughout the month of August. Artist Tyreis Holder (IG: @_tyreis_) was leading a roller skate customisation workshop in conjunction with Rookie Skates (IG: @rookieskates) and needed our help!

    We were delighted to donate brushes and our beautiful Elephant sustainable paint sets to the team and it’s fabulous to see what they created. This wasn’t a predominantly ‘arty’ audience, but it shows that creativity takes many and varied forms and, as a company, there are a range of ways Colart can engage with a new demographic.

    It’s well worth checking out the IG accounts above to see some of the fabulous creations (the rainbow unicorns might be my favourite!). Super work (as always) from Eden and Felix in the Kiosk team in making this happen and thanks to Lawrence for his introduction to some great contacts at Somerset House.

    Not sure if this fits in with Wellbeing Tuesday, Sustainability Wednesday or rainy Thursday, but found the below Ted talk really funny and a lesson in storytelling, but most crucially, flipping the success vs happiness equation with some actionable things to try towards the end. A useful 12min lunchtime watch!

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."
