Will you take the #24for24 Challenge this September?
Green-Schools and Climate Ambassador Programme are teaming up to bring you the Second-hand September Challenge
The Green-Schools Lets Fix Fashion and CAP are delighted to launch our Second-hand September campaign. Discover what you can get in your local charity shops for €24 in 2024.
By encouraging students to buy an outfit from a charity shop for just €24, it challenges the culture of fast fashion, which contributes hugely to waste and pollution. Choosing to buy second-hand saves us money, but also conserves resources and energy, making it a powerful step towards a more sustainable future for our planet!
Share your haul on Insta or Tiktok and tag GS_letsfixfashion and greenschoolire. The chosen winner will be reimbursed the €24 you spent, and we will match it with a donation of €24 to the charity shop of their choice.
To be in with a chance to win, submit your reel through the form below:
