Overview
Sustainable September 2026 aims to promote sustainability and community engagement throughout Northern Ireland. Participants are encouraged to donate items they no longer need, supporting local charities and reducing waste. The initiative highlights the importance of buying second-hand items, which helps keep textiles out of landfills. In Northern Ireland, approximately 500 tonnes of textiles are discarded weekly, equating to each person throwing away about 3.6 kg.
Benefits
The campaign not only aids in environmental conservation but also offers mental health benefits by promoting decluttering. A tidy space can lead to a more relaxed mind, reducing stress and enhancing overall well-being.
Participation
This initiative is available exclusively for members of Business In The Community. Interested organizations can register to receive resources for promoting the campaign internally and on social media. Team volunteering opportunities with charity shops are also available, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, participants can contact the organizers directly or register their interest online.
