The motion

That the Parliament recognises the work of the social enterprise, ReMode Renfrewshire, which has recently safely reopened its Paisley shop; understands that its mission is to raise awareness of the environmental impact of the fashion and textiles industry and to share practical solutions with communities in Renfrewshire; notes that it has two shops, in Paisley and Lochwinnoch which sell second-hand clothing, mended garments and sustainable living products; recognises that it works to educate the public, particularly under 18s, about sustainable fashion through its sewing workshops and events; commends it for its resilience throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by hosting online workshops and virtual Meddle and Mend sewing surgeries to help people fix clothes while in isolation; believes that ReMode's contribution to the Renfrewshire community is crucial in the fight against the climate crisis, and encourages young people to get involved with its sustainable fashion efforts.
