00:00 I'll tell you one thing that I'm really,

00:01 I was just sitting down at my tent

00:02 and I was thinking, I went to,

00:04 I came to COP two years ago,

00:06 and it was my first COP,

00:08 and I was asked to talk at Time 100,

00:10 what time did that, I think it was Time 100.

00:12 As I was sitting talking about why I was there,

00:15 I watched beef getting handed out,

00:17 fish getting handed out,

00:19 and then the vegetarian risotto option,

00:21 and I remember calling it out a little bit,

00:24 and I would like to congratulate you, Time 100,

00:27 for having a plant-based dinner tonight.

00:29 I'm here to talk about the climate

00:34 and how the fashion industry is responsible

00:36 for a lot of damage,

00:37 and I'm mostly here, though,

00:38 and I'd love you all to please come to my installation

00:41 over in the green zone.

00:43 I'm mostly here to provide solutions,

00:46 and I think that's really what I do at Spelling Carney

00:48 with my team, my amazing team,

00:50 that got this award as well.

00:52 So we're here showcasing around 20 incredible innovation

00:58 creators and businesses, and they're all there,

01:01 and it's basically showing all of the solutions

01:03 that we use at Spelling Carney,

01:06 a whole host of things from non-plastic-based

01:09 vegan leathers that are made from rubber

01:12 that are actually scalable, which is super exciting,

01:15 and enzyme breaking down of polyesters.

01:20 We have some bio-leathers that are made out of the waste

01:25 of the champagne industry that basically uses grape skins,

01:29 and they're all there, and I'd love to invite you all to come.

01:31 So that's why I'm here.

01:32 I'm showcasing the solutions,

01:34 and I'm also letting people know

01:35 about the fashion industry's need,

01:38 most of all for policy change and incentives.

01:42 So really, if anyone here can help me change laws

01:45 in my industry, we're pretty unpoliced,

01:48 and I'm here to try and get a seat at the table

01:51 and make some laws that can protect the planet in fashion.

01:54 So thank you for having me.

01:56 (audience applauding)
