Permaculture is a term and land management design style coined by Australian Bill Mollison with the intention to create “permanent agriculture” (and later on expanded to “permanent culture”) that seeks to reject typical industrialized approach to land use and to take ideas and concepts of traditional indigenous knowledge, and mimicking natural systems to design the human utilized landscape for long term permanent agricultural use. The design philosophy uses the following principals in decision making:
Observe and interact. Catch and store energy
Obtain a yield. Apply self-regulation and accept feedback
Use and value renewable resources and services
Produce no waste
Design from patterns to details
Integrate rather than segregate
Use small and slow solutions
Use and value diversity
Use edges and value the marginal
Creatively use and respond to change
A food forest is a popular design style in permaculture that seeks to mimic a forest and contains 7 layers of plant growth: canopy, low tree, shrub, herbaceous, rhizosphere, soil surface and vertical (vine). In addition to providing food for the gardener,
a food forest seeks to achieve as close to a self-contained ecosystem that has plants besides those that provide food - other plants usually called companion or utility plants- some that can be chopped for mulch to improve soil,
attract pollinator or beneficial insects, provide wildlife habitat or deter pests.
Why should I care about sustainable clothing?
One of the most polluting industries on the planet is the fashion and apparel industry. With that in mind, we researched which fabrics and materials had the lowest impact on the environment, which fibers were less processed and which can eventually biodegrade.
Where are your clothes made and what are they made of?
All our products are US manufactured and made of the most sustainable materials possible- hemp, organic cotton, bamboo and recycled polyester.
