We try to share uplifting developments here -- and any strides we're making on making regenerative organic goods more affordable and accessible. But it was a real wake up call and reminder when I saw this The Washington Post story last week by Simon Ducroquet and Shannon Osaka of the work we still have ahead: "The world produces around 250 million tons of plastic waste in municipalities in one year — plastic bottles, cigarette butts, plastic packaging and much more. Much of that waste — equivalent to about the weight of 42 Great Pyramids of Giza — is put into landfills; some of it is recycled." Ufff! ?? When Vizan Giri and I started Terra Thread, our sister company, we chose to use organic cotton in all our bags and accessories to offer consumers an alternative to the polyester-based materials that dominated the market. We just wanted to see if we could build a #plasticfree company. So we've tried to cut out all unnecessary packaging, use only recycled paper content, and ofcourse make our products out of traceable organic cotton. Plastic is definitely needed in certain products, and we don't have a great substitute material yet (pls educate me if I'm wrong about this!). But, I do feel that companies can really help us curb our addiction to plastic by making some small changes. The truth is that we're not equipped to dispose of it properly, and it's polluting our planet - if not directly in our backyard, on the otherwise of the planet. ?? ?? ?? ??

We're excited to share that our organic cotton bags and backpacks are making their way to one more retail partner this week. Our sister company Terra Thread led by Vizan Giri will now be on Nordstrom.com. This is just in time for Back-to-School. ?? So if you're looking for a new bag this school year, consider a cotton one! It's just as durable, and will break down in the Earth after it's been used, tested to the max, and scoffed up. If you're not heading to school or college, we have laptop cases, totes, gym bags, makeup cases, and more. It's so exciting to see mainstream retailers support mission-driven brands. Let's hope this movement continues to grow and redefine how we shop.

Too good to be kept private. We're releasing the full video of our Webinar on Regenerative Agriculture in the Apparel Industry: Beyond the Hype. This discussion from an expert panel outlined a comprehensive approach was outlined to regenerative agriculture in the apparel industry, focusing on ecological restoration, transparency, certification, consumer engagement, and the use of advanced technologies to drive sustainability. The webinar was moderated by Christopher Marquis, a professor at the Cambridge Judge Business School, and author of of “THE PROFITEERS: How Business Privatizes Profit and Socializes Cost”. He was joined by three industry leaders: - Vik Giri (He/Him), founder of Gallant International, Inc, a pioneering organic cotton and now regenerative cotton based product supplier. - Elizabeth Whitlow, Executive Director of the Regenerative Organic Alliance,?which holds the Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC). ROC is a holistic, high-bar certification that encompasses three pillars: soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness.? - Andrew Smith, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of the Rodale Institute, which has been leading the way in the?organic movement through rigorous, solutions-based?research, farmer training, and consumer education. A few key takeaways: - Brands and manufacturers are encouraged to transition to regenerative agriculture practices that go beyond sustainability. This involves not only reducing harm but actively contributing to the replenishment of the environment and the creation of resilient communities. - Establishing deep relationships with farmers and ensuring a transparent supply chain are crucial. For instance, Gallant's journey towards the ROC standard emphasizes the importance of restoring soil health and addressing social and environmental issues - The importance of soil health and its role in carbon sequestration was discussed, highlighting the potential for the apparel industry to contribute positively to the environment. Rodale Institute's work in this area underscores the need for practices that support biodiversity and climate resilience - ROC certification was presented as a comprehensive standard that includes soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness. Brands and manufacturers are encouraged to seek certifications that align with regenerative principles and to collaborate with various stakeholders to support farmers in this transition - There is a growing consumer demand for products that align with regenerative agriculture values. Brands and manufacturers should consider this shift in consumer preferences and the economic, environmental, and societal benefits that regenerative practices offer - Brands and manufacturers should integrate LCAs into their supply chain to better understand the environmental impacts of their products. For example, Green Story's work with Gallant on Digital Product Passports is a step towards transparency and sustainability, setting new industry standards
