The Sierra Club faces its white-supremacist history.” in The Washington Post ROC farms and products meet the highest standards for soil health, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness.” Regenerative Organic Certification, “a revolutionary new certification for food, fiber, and personal care ingredients. “Abundance is sort of natural to what the ecology wants, and we realize that a lot of times scarcity is a human constructed concept as well.” -Kameaīiocultural diversity, a concept Kamea learned from Terralingua’s Director Luisa Maffiįibershed, listen to the Conscious Chatter episode with their founder here > “On The Stubborn Whiteness of Environmentalism” by Danielle Purifoy in Inside Higher Ed More on decolonizing “environmental conservation” in Kamea’s newsletter >īraiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer Kamea’s Instagram post on the need to decolonize “environmental conservation” “A lot of times people in the environmental movement will look at these ecological impact studies showing water use, energy use, land use, etc, in fashion, for example, of the different fibers, to compare which one is more ‘eco-friendly’ and so forth, but these studies tend to leave out these important contexts that I just discussed that show that it’s important for us to be regenerative, and it’s also important for fibers to be bioregionally appropriate to where they’re grown.” -Kamea So, some questions to ask: Is that cotton grown in a region where it naturally rains a lot, so artificial irrigation isn’t necessary or at least relied on? Or is it grown in a dry region where it’s mostly artificially irrigated? Is the soil so healthy and are the root systems of the plant in that ecology so extensive that the land kind of acts like a sponge and is able to hold rainwater well? Or is the land really degraded and the soil really compacted, leading to water runoff every time as soon as it rains, which means even if it rains a decent amount, artificial irrigation might still be necessary because the water cycle isn’t functioning as it should? And finally, is the agroecosystem a monoculture, which means the organic cotton may still require *biological* pesticides, which may still be harmful to people and other wildlife? or is there so much complexity and biodiversity of life that’s built up resilience and the health of that ecosystem itself, to ensure that the plants can thrive in that circular system?” -Kamea “What I mean when I say that sustainability requires context is - for example, we know cotton is a thirsty crop, even when it’s organic.
