I finish up by pointing out some of the amazing work being done in this field in the local community. I recently met with Nina Gbor, who runs her own fashion line Eco.Styles. Nina’s line uses recycled textiles to reduce landfill waste and uses non-harmful dyes and chemicals. Other than being a style icon, she is also a huge advocate for better working conditions for garment workers and recognises how these issues disproportionately affect women in developing countries. I stand before the Assembly today to discuss this topic because I want to show how we as consumers hold the power when it comes to making decisions about how we shop.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 6.21 pm.
