My mentor, Cathy Heller, asked me to talk a little bit about why I started my business. So, I started that thought here and moved into discussing a  little more from Fibershed, the book by Rebecca Burgess. This time I ponder some of the questions asked in the chapter entitled, "Soil-to-Soil Clothing and the Carbon Cycle": Are we wearing clothing from the fossil carbon pool or are we wearing clothing grown in the soil? Does our clothing return to the pool from which it came? Can we compost our clothes? If not, then we need to be asking ourselves, "Why not"? Why are we not as demanding about the clothing that we put on our body as we are about the food we put in it?
