His great passion is sustainability and being a champion of greater ecological integrity.

Australia is the second biggest consumer of fashion and textiles per capita in the world. Over 200,000 tonnes of clothes end up in landfill each year.
As part of the impact campaign for ABC TV’s environmental War on Waste tv series, we’re encouraging Councils, Schools and ABC TV audiences to join in the war on fashion waste by running a clothes swap event as the new season of War On Waste goes to air.
Join Nina Gbor from Eco Styles and Clothes Swap & Style and Youth Climate Activist Ella Simons (of School Strike 4 Climate) about her experience of hosting a swap at The King David School in Melbourne.
