Anna Hunter: Wool is a Climate Change Solution

Join us on Saturday, October 4th to welcome Anna Hunter of Long Way Homestead.

Historically our clothing was an agricultural product – rooted in our landbase. Now, we are disconnected from the source and materials and our extractive clothing industry is responsible for environmental degradation, atrocious working conditions and millions of tons of landfill waste.
But we can build regional textile communities that work to regenerate land, strengthen our agricultural systems and provide meaningful employment in rural communities. A re-emergence of cottage industry textiles can lead to healthier environments and a soil-to-soil clothing model connects us to land, animal and community.
