For the first clause, we were instructed to conduct research on craftivism, which was the badge of the month. I utilized ChatGPT to assist with this task. Using ChatGPT is no longer permitted as it is a form of artificial intelligence; however, it was allowed at the time.

Regarding the environmental impacts of craftivism, I am already familiar with this subject due to my two-year involvement with the Groundwork Youth Advisory Board. It has been enlightening to consider how I can incorporate environmentally conscious practices into my hobby of craftivism, especially given that some materials used may be detrimental to the environment.

2. Research the history of craftivism, including at least 3 prolific examples.

I took notes in my notebook, which I used to draft all the clauses related to badges and provide examples for each. This notebook belongs to the community of fellow Rebels, with whom we collaborate to complete clauses collectively.

22. Watch craftivism- ‘making a difference video

To complete the badge, I viewed a YouTube video about craftivism. I had it playing in the background while having my dinner.

This is a screenshot of the video I watched on YouTube to demonstrate that I have viewed it.

This was not my preferred badge due to the extensive research required; however, not every badge is suitable for everyone. Overall, I would rate this badge a 5 out of 10. My lack of enthusiasm for research activities is reminiscent of my experiences during school days.
