Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Citizens' Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (Resumed)
David:
I think that my involvement has had an impact of me because I have made a few friends from it and it has prompted me to be more careful when making life decisions about, for example, fast fashion. One cannot buy clothes and then throw them away. Instead one should try to reuse clothes, make them last a while, or save them and give them to someone else, perhaps a younger member of one's family. One can pass clothes on to them, thus saving them money while contributing to combating climate change, global warning and biodiversity loss.
