In the Redwood Classroom this past week we had a guest speaker Rebecca Burgess who has recently started a non profit called Fibershed. Fiber shed is an organization that focuses on reducing carbon emissions by making 100% cotton clothing. The company doesn't create the 100% cotton clothings but they help fund the manufacturers. At the begging of her presentation she states that on average about 70% of your clothing in your wardrobe is plastic. She made this very clear to us because if your clothing isn't cotton, in most cases it is polyester and other plastic like materials. Over all, Rebecca has started a successful non profit that is helping raise awareness about the carbon emissions of plastic clothing, and she is helping others make the chance towards 100% cotton clothing. As far as the farm the farm weather has been lately, is has maintained very rainy weather for the past couple of weeks. With almost everyday being rainy, our class has received very little farm work to focus on our one beds.
