"The 18 Recommendations of the Environmental Audit Committee's Fixing Fashion Report provided clear guidelines to a government that admitted to a climate emergency only last month. It is disappointing that despite this, the government has not taken up any of the recommendations as a benchmark for real change in their response." - Tamara Cincik, CEO and Founder of Fashion Roundtable

TEMPLATE LETTER
Dear ______,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am writing to express my disappointment towards the government’s response to the Environmental Audit Committee’s Fixing Fashion Report.
Although the response highlighted what the government is currently doing, it was evident from the Inquiry that it is not enough. The government is promising change but appears to be very hesitant in outlining how change will be achieved, and as a voter I would like more clarity and more commitment from the policy makers who are meant to represent my interests.
As (a consumer of/ part of the workforce for) the fashion industry, I would like to see plans and targets which are specific to the industry, that directly address the social and environmental impacts generated by the fashion industry.
Thank you very much and I am very curious to see what changes will follow from the Fixing Fashion Report.
Yours sincerely,
