SUMMARY:[Zoom] Clothing is Agriculture: Hemp Fiber Production in the Northeast
DESCRIPTION:Part 3 of a 3-part webinar series on sustainable fashion and textiles. There is so much ingenuity built in to fiber technology of the past that sometimes it starts to look like poetry. A far cry from the visuals of polluted rivers and toxic workplaces elicited by the Global Fast Fashion Crisis we find ourselves in today. What kind of Culture are we creating with all we have learned on earth and the resources we have left? Natural Fiber is the seamless technology of a closed-loop future and circular time. In this third and final webinar of the series\, fiber artist and farmer Laura Sullivan will share the journey of growing Hemp for fiber on the UVM extension research farm and what it would take to scale and industry in our region.

SUMMARY:[Zoom] Fashion Production: Where Do Our Clothes Come From?
DESCRIPTION:Part 1 of a 3-part webinar series on sustainable fashion and textiles. The global fashion industry is a system of production processes creating clothing\, a human need.  To understand how fashion production operates is essential to seeing the scope and complexity of the problems.  In the first of the series of webinars\, we will learn how our clothes are made from the basic fiber to a garment. As we learn about the diverse production stages\, we will identify detrimental behaviors which are negatively affecting the environment and people.  Kelly McDowell \, MA in Social Innovation and Sustainability\, will explore these concepts with knowledge and experience from her past career in fashion production in NYC.

SUMMARY:VLA 1st Thursdays for December
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Libraries and Resilient Communities \nSustainable librarianship might seem like a “nice in theory” kind of idea but much of what we do\, especially in our small Vermont libraries\, falls under this umbrella. From “reusing” books through library circulation to installing solar panels and so much in between\, libraries are the proving ground. Join Mindy Blank and Madeleine Charney\, two sustainability pioneers\, for their take on sustainability and how it applies to what we do and we can do. In addition\, learn about the new Sustainable Libraries: Blue Marble Vermont initiative to get underway in 2022\, fully funded from the Vermont Community Foundation.  \nMindy Blank is a Climate Futurist and the Executive Director of Community Resilience Organizations. Her overarching focus is on building social infrastructure for the Northeastern US to act as a climate refuge by creating alternatives to dominant\, oppressive systems that address late-stage capitalism and land sovereignty for people who have been marginalized by cultures of colonization. Mindy works closely with the Every Town project on creating safe\, welcoming\, actively anti-racist communities that support Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPOC) land stewards and is part of a team working on complementary legislation – the VT BIPOC Land Access and Opportunity Act. She is a grassroots climate justice organizer with a legal background\, supporting communities and networks in designing local resilience-building projects\, of which libraries are a key network as organizing hubs for integrating community resilience through a justice and educational lens. \nMadeleine Charney is a master gardener\, labyrinth facilitator\, mindfulness teacher\, climate change activist and the mother of a teenager. She holds an MLS from the University of Rhode Island and an MA in Sustainable Landscape Planning and Ecological Design from the Conway School of Landscape Design. Madeleine works at the W.E.B. Du Bois Library at the University of Massachusetts where she supports the departments of landscape architecture\, regional planning and agriculture. She sits on various campus committees involved in the energy transition (and inner transition) for a habitable planet. She is a co-founder of ALA’s Sustainability Round Table: Libraries Fostering Resilient Communities. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
