Please check out this inspiring TreeHugger interview with Kate Fletcher about the state of the textile industry moving forward and her new book Sustainable Fashion & Textiles: Design Journeys.
“Kate Fletcher is a highly respected pioneer in the eco-fashion industry. She has worked on developing sustainability in fashion and textiles for over 15 years and has advised many of our favourite eco labels.”
“I do think however that the biggest changes don’t require big budgets… it can be a simple shift in thinking. . . But perhaps the single most important change is that people are actively talking about these issues and are beginning to ask questions about the goals and rules of the industry… what do we want the industry to be? Who do we want it to serve?”

Hey! Thanks for the link to the TreeHugger interview. I never knew how much of a pioneer she was. I was browsing through a bunch of green websites and blogs and I came across yours and found it very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like the daily green, ecorazzi and earthlab.com. I especially like EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). I find it really easy to use (it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it). Are there any others you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites (let me know if they are the same as mine).
