OCEANIA

The region surrounding Oceania is one that is bursting of ethical fashion, sustainable and environmental best practices, and innovative solutions to some of Earth's greatest problems. The only problem with this region is narrowing down on which brands to feature. Recently, Queensland announced their plan to ban plastic bags by July 2018. This follows the ban on single-use plastic bags in South Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory. Not to mention the very heavy emphasis on sustainable consumption within the food industry--just watch an episode of Masterchef Australia/New Zealand (the greatest Masterchef ever!) and there will be reference to this. It, therefore, makes perfect sense that the country is also overloaded with ethical brands.
