<br />
:Forty percent of the clothing will be baled and shipped all over the
globe to be resold as is. Japan gets the second nicest vintage items
after the U.S. stores, South American countries get the mid-grade stuff,
Eastern European countries get the cold-weather clothes, and African
countries get the low-grade stuff no one else will take. In the 1980s,
secondhand clothing began flowing into African countries that had
dropped their protectionist economic policies. And because it was
cheaper and seen as higher quality than domestically produced clothing,
it dominated the market. By 2004, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/03/business/trade-theory-vs-used-clothes-in-africa.html" target="_blank"> 81 percent</a> of clothing purchased in Uganda was secondhand. In 2005, according to an <a href="http://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/publications/the-impact-of-the-second-hand-clothing-trade-on-developing-countries-112464" target="_blank"> Oxfam report</a>,
secondhand clothing made up half of the volume of clothing imports in
sub-Saharan Africa. As a result, starting in the 1990s, textile
industries in those African countries cratered." <br />

And as part of the system tries to then grow..I think the mind of the system has been trapped in a loop. Despite all the tech and tools or maybe because of them- the species itself hasn't had what it takes to dismantle its mistaken identity.<br />

Another sustainable article that tries to ignore the elephant in the room.<br />
<br />
It is hard to read these facts without wanting to scream.<br />
<br />
There is no way humans can continue to play the old game of make it, sell it, exploit the world, grow rich.<br />
<br />
Rich in what?<br />
<br />
The whol;e story is a bad joke and I am thinking we can do better and must!<br />
excerpt from aan article a friend FYI'D<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">"The global textile industry is
valued at over $1 trillion, ranking as the second largest industry in terms of
intensity of trade. Textiles are also the fastest growing sector in household
waste. Discounting and low retail prices over the last two decades have led to
a dramatic increase in the consumption of clothing, with a resultant rise in
textile waste from the consumer. More than three million tons of textiles are
thrown away each year in the EU alone.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">To address this growing challenge of
textile waste, VTT Technical Research Center of Finland and Aalto University
are participating in an EU project called <i>Trash-2-Cash</i>. The project
brings together designers, researchers, materials suppliers and textile
manufacturers from all over Europe to solve the problem by recycling and
development of high-performance fibers."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">from <i><b>SocialEarth</b></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">http://socialearth.org/textile-waste-turned-into-consumer-products </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I had a
feeling before I read it that this article played the "justification" tuneg. Like recycling in general, it avoids
the issue of too much stuff, too many humans and lack of diversity in the economic, resource construct! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
smart discourse needs to take the larger
picture and the details into focus at one time. This huge expansive
vision is do-able if various experts got out of the safe, comfy zones
and worked together to understand the complexities of what our species
is facing. The old ego needs to step back, take a deep breath and leap
into it's less defensive, open, vulnerable and loving side! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If more people moved out from ideas of owner/worker, class -I mean really -that
is so made up to support its own "reality" and tunnel, linear focus this species might really prove itself incredible!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
entangled energies and possiblities that arrive in Quantum Physics, the
natural cycles, evolution and diversity for healthy ecosystems that
environmental sciences explore and learning how beliefs program our
lives and can be changed - this kind of knowledge,
if spread more widely, would certainly help us re-imagine a world that
follows
heart, soul, gut wisdom and is aligned with the super reality of a
living
planet, uni-verse.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So let us proceed! </span></div>
<br />
So though this old <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">hack
of sensibility appears to be trying to maintain status quo utilizing
data and edited knowledge from the past, seems "normal" and comfortable
it is not going to solve anything</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">AAAACCCCKKKKK-----</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Thank you! I needed that. </span><br />

The eco hack is finally hitting the mainstream and this is good news. The recycling paradigm needs fine tuning as this species needs to awaken to finite planet and ecosystem connectivity that the old story has tried to avoid.<br />
<br />
"New studies indicate that the fibers in our clothes could be poisoning
our waterways and food chain on a massive scale. Microfibers – tiny
threads shed from fabric – have been found in abundance on shorelines
where waste water is released."<br />
AND<br />
"Breaking a plastic bottle into millions of fibrous bits of plastic might prove to be worse than doing nothing at all." <br />

Viv Westwood still going strong against the mainstream wind, pushing the
tides of change. Doing right, standing tall and well still full of piss and
vinegar. Strange phrase to mean "<br />
feminine power" but thanks to a world of domination, divide and
unfounded arrogance, these thoughts float like wasps in the air of social
history.<br />
<br />
Viv for those who do not know was a punk designer who walked the fine line
tween street and couture when there was a line <br />
<br />
Anyway being a hero for the Now Here year of 2016 takes more than words, it
takes action and a New Story of who we are and what life means and why we
cannot act like kids in toyland ny longer.<br />
<br />
(I am working on that, feel free to chime in. Local activism can go beyond protest and create story that will help humans thrive in relationship to the whole life of a living sensual planet. This is an all connected story. We know enough now to go forward with science, art and LOVE) <br />

Reading about the above company made me feel good. Our species is wising up..slowly yes, but all in all..it adds to the hope in all of our balloons.<br />
<br />
Enterprises that are designed with a broad healthier vision beat the old construct hands down. Why is this so difficult to understand? Are we so immersed in the "war" on life, others, nature ourselves that we have constructed a Culture of Self Loathing? What is that ..? Have we been steeped in the shame and guilt stories of the West that we continue to process them even as we say we "know better?"<br />
<br />
Have we duped ourselves into believing this cold ass tech visioned elitist silliness is the best we can do? I say , no way!<br />
<br />
Bravo to the few, who understand ethical means honest, transparent, healthy, happy, intelligently aligned with a world of organic processes!<br />
<br />
It is simply a matter of fact ..we are MORE!<br />

....."The fashion industry’s unseen assault on the rainforest was first discovered by Canopy. Canopy <a href="http://wsav.membercenter.worldnow.com/story/23837180/the-latest-style-trend-fashion-protecting-forests">observed</a> that an increasing area of rainforest in Indonesia was being cut down for the production of fabrics. In 2012 alone, <a href="http://wsav.membercenter.worldnow.com/story/23837180/the-latest-style-trend-fashion-protecting-forests">70 million trees </a>were
cut down to create fabrics like rayon and viscose for the industry.
These fabrics are used in dresses and skirts, tank tops, t-shirts and
suit jacket linings.<br />
<br />
Amy Hall, director of social consciousness, told <a href="http://wsav.membercenter.worldnow.com/story/23837180/the-latest-style-trend-fashion-protecting-forests">WSAV3</a>,
“The current role of fashion in forest depletion is alarming but we
know designers and leading fashion houses can make a difference.
<br />
Working with Canopy to address our use of forest fiber, develop
mechanisms to ensure our fabrics are free of endangered forests and to
craft long-term solutions for sustainable fabric sourcing are the first
steps in turning the tide for the world’s rare forests.<br />

Like all consumer "goods" are these clothes so "good" that "we" are apparently willing to sacrifice the very means of healthy living on this planet? How long before that skirt lands in the recycle or trash? </div>

We are as abused children, living in a tunnel of misinformation, lies and deceits. For even if that tunnel is satin lined...it remains a tunnel. Information and change of action on said information will help us climb from the tunnel so that we may breathe fresh air again. There is still time, but not as much as you think! So take someones hand and climb together, we can and will do better than this.

This video has not been removed by fashionethos, so what "user" is referenced here? The uploader or YouTUBE?<br />
<br />
Free energy is like a no-no to big oil, coal and utilities that are ramping up to control and create dependency (control by "need") <a href="http://www.communichi.org/smart-meters-coming-to-seattle-what-effects-on-the-health-of-our-world/" target="_blank"> Smart meters</a> are one such device-never mind the health risks! Yup that makes sense; oh and that disgusting sound is Big Pharma salivating<br />
<br />
("<a href="http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=take+back+your+power&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=623701C86AE9CB1298EC623701C86AE9CB1298EC" target="_blank">Take Back</a> Your Power" and <a href="http://www.meetup.com/stopseattlesmartmeters/" target="_blank">meet ups</a> are sharing the RFR data and it isn't pretty) <br />
<br />
This is (was!) a sweet video on the regenerative capacity of mountain energy and why acting at the level of our knowledge will make a better space for everyone, every "thing." (if all is more energy than matter, thing becomes a weird concept)<br />
<br />
( I didn't have time to check the math or theory so am not sure what triggered the pull down, however it makes me wonder as all kinds of silliness is on the Y Tube with no ramifications) <br />
<br />
It is sad that the most fearful appear to be running the show. Then again if one thinks how what we do colors our world it makes sense.<br />
<br />
Military people see the world as a threat.<br />
<br />
Government people see the world as something that must be controlled. (as in <i><b>Manufacturing Consent</b></i> by Norm Chomsky) <br />
<br />
Medical people see health problems.<br />
<br />
Oil people just want to sell more oli, Apple wants to sell more I Pads, etc. The job, the corporate ideology colors the workers lens.<br />
<br />
Artists are still encouraged to reflect on their belly buttons or in social change milieu - to work on issues at the level of the problem -not on total prevention.Acting at the level of our current knowledge would mean that artists would have to learn at least a couple other fields in order to communicate beyond the individual mirror pattern that was so useful, fresh and rad back in the day, Now it feels really redundant. <br />
<br />
Educators want to share knowledge but are trapped by the system's knowledge and the hierarchical construct that makes turf "kinging" essential for "success." Competiton has upside but a really ugly downside too! Own it!<br />
<br />
Bankers see the world through a financial lens, so the more privatization of commons, the more financialization of life, resources, the more we go along with it- the better. Think how "home" became an investment, how education is represented in earning expectations, how fashion and dressing for success translates and how valuable is reiterated as dollars and cents.<br />
<br />
As banks have a hugely disproportionate hold on the "world" via their ability to create "money" out of thin air, they have an advantage that must be "seen" to be "appreciated" for what it is. Their ability to believe in their own sleight of hand is comical and alas dangerous.<br />
<br />
I figure if we understand why we are so hampered in our amazing expert, professional tracks- we might more easily reconcile our differences so we can forgive our errors and move into a quantum opening. Free energy is a great stimulus.<br />
<br />
Evolution, here we come! (check out <a href="http://fashionrip.blogspot.com/2013/09/gaiad-theory-intro-1.html" target="_blank">Gaiad </a><a href="http://fashionrip.blogspot.com/2013/10/whats-love-got-to-do-with-it-giad.html" target="_blank">Theory</a> on fashionRIP for more details) <br />

As the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/27/opinion/the-charitable-industrial-complex.html" target="_blank">charitable industrial complex</a> tends to focus its good deeds with interests in so called under-developed countries (who is the judge? am questioning everything these days!<br />
<br />
Communication is a difficult thing when off the topics that roll with simple exchanges, polite conversation. The classic top down "we the do-gooder" here to help you "the poor and downtrodden" with a few useful things that actually cost us "nothing" and are great for "marketing" and PR works like a "business." <br />
<br />
Speaking up outside the construct of the agenda makers takes good listening skills (learning!) a lot of research, courage and an
ability to step away from ego despite the bruises. It takes extreme heart to remember the eyes
of those you "promised" to pick yourself up and to carry on.<br />
<br />
This is some of what sets the sincere activist apart from the controlled to not rock any real boats and to not change the course of the "Takers" do good set up. A focus on deeds that won't really interfere with the status quo are the usual foundational guidelines, the old bandage the wound ignore the cause approach. Therefore these charities act as detractors/distractors, as ways to justify the rape and pillage, kind of like payola.. <br />
<br />
Human beings that are true to self, attempting to acknowledge their paths and spirits, are operating from another place, a place aligned with Love. This creates a huge differential in the quantum field as is aligned with expanding possibilities. This in turn supports diversity and as diversity aligns with healthy ecosystems we are at threshold to a healing dimension that rocks that oldy moldy boat outta the water! ( maybe even before the water is poisoned by fracking and run-off and...)<br />
<br />
The Gaid Theory came to me yesterday and is a link to the theory of everything that Lanza wrote about in<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Biocentrism-Consciousness-Understanding-Nature-Universe/dp/1935251740" target="_blank"> <i><b>Biocentrism.</b></i></a>, even though i have jumped the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything" target="_blank">physics </a>only field from whence the query came.<br />
<br />
Details later, writing them down is not nearly as fun as the aha moments that show up. For the record, the Giad Theory is a fun next step that erodes huge amounts of the established mythic construct and reinterprets them from new perspectives. This is part of the <a href="http://fashionrip.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">fashionRIP Project,</a> where i have been unraveling western culture, keeping the good threads and exposing the rotten ones. <br />
<br />
So back to inspiration piece and Sweating Away in the USA, Flor Molina story is is full of the good stuff. Great activists are fighting for others as well as self. This creates the energy that survives the downturns and rides the crests with joy that surpasses the self. That is really all one needs to know, to start..<br />

Today's issue: Designing the Housewife or how Marketing to the “lady of the house" helped create the modern <a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/goodwife" target="_blank">"Goodwife.</a>" This is about attaching ego to brands in the guise of supporting a woman's sincere efforts to help her family be healthy, happy and successful; to partake of the American Dream. This is about seduction.<br />
<br />
Women were cajoled and trained to really "shop" after WWII. Granted, the whole euphoric "war is over" period did lead to dancing in the streets and a cultural lovefest. North America was on a high and celebration was in order. Ego and systems belief rose to new levels of possibility. Spending was easier as goods that had been scarce now seemed abundant and unending. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_economics" target="_blank">Consumer economics </a>was part of the new plan and it appeared to be a winner. <br />
<br />
Companies saw ways to turn their war making materials into peacetime profits and the future looked bright. Rebuilding Europe and Japan made good diplomatic and economic sense. The over there helped drive the home turf industries, making the case for household or microeconomics and women's spending.<br />
<br />
It also makes the case for the "<a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/01/17/132942244/ikes-warning-of-military-expansion-50-years-later" target="_blank">military, industrial (congressional)</a> complex that former President Eisenhower said to be wary of, but highs are not grounded and consequences seemed far away.<br />
<br />
Home was the reason for all the fighting. Home was the haven and havens were about security and comfort. Home was pretty much an answer on many fronts. But by the 50s a new driver was needed to fulfill the economic wet dreams of the financiers and bankers. Freedom from fascism meant freedom to exploit and so it was.<br />
<br />
"Authorities" and friendly persuaders, movie stars and academics all chimed in to help craft and tune the American Dream Machine. And many of those machines were about household conveniences, washers, dryers, vacuum cleaners, ovens, mixers, cocktail shakers and ice makers. Autos were aimed at this new era woman and she enjoyed the "freedom." Style was stressed and design took off.<br />
<br />
Aggressive campaigns hit this booming middle class via the homemaker. Like who would ever think that the red and white checked household staple; the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Crocker" target="_blank">Betty Crocker Cookbook</a> and the later <a href="http://www.bhg.com/recipes/how-to/cooking-basics/a-little-lore-on-americas-no-1-cookbook/" target="_blank">Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook</a>, were really marketing devices, full of processed food stuffs called "time saving" wonders. I mean i received "Better Homes" as a gift when i married and never thought it <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wolf_in_Sheep%27s_Clothing" target="_blank">a wolf in sheep's clothing.</a> <br />
<br />
TV, radio, magazines, newspapers all presented stories of the consumer litany, the mantras of the modern world. Articles presented information that was so aligned with ads that an umbrella of sacred consumption covered the lot. All the latest and greatest ‘stuffs” showed women how to keep husbands and children happy, healthy and in good cultural standing. (Wise was also bandied about but the education experts had that domain)<br />
<br />
As men went
out of the house to go earn "the bread" the ladies were being shown where and
how to spend it. All those modern conveniences left her time for more shopping. Being the good housewife meant dressing the part, so this was not without perks and justifiable ones at that! <br />
<br />
These advisory messages were often dressed up to be "about the family." However it was often more about acculturation and creating an underlying group think, while sporting individuality and "i did it my way" on the surface, This stuff had/has layers of meaning.<br />
<br />
Ingenious, clever and "successful" in its own way, marketers and media rose to new heights on the new hype. (Though how we can call a concept a success without considering all outcomes, all "life cycle" impacts, damages and dis-ease, is a mystery of financier clout and sleight of hand)<br />
<br />
The consumer economic belief is now fairly hardwired into the system. The term sustainable economics is rising (<a href="http://www.blaney.com/articles/evolution-corporation-public-benefit-corporation" target="_blank">as with public benefit corporations)</a> but sadly, this often just means more dependency on corporations. as services replace tangible goods; and doesn't change the core processing ideology. <br />
<br />
I stand behind the word <i>sadly,</i> as corporate thinking that justifies a <a href="http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6454.html" target="_blank">focus on profits</a> and the subsequent <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1011/65297.html" target="_blank">right</a> to profit, is a unique human form of crazy. We humans are capable of great imagination which created the idea of money, wealth and profit - all the economic "manage and control" devices we have mustered into existence, all about us! That these concepts became "real," so "real" that they now over take the larger realities of planet systems, well that is crazy. <br />
<br />
All the while the very imagination, the very gift of being that thought up the money idea and is at this moment helping many reconsider this whole agenda, well that is the real wealth of the species. Let's not squander it. Let's not blow it. because this time running away from the mess is really unfeasible, not practical and certainly not admirable.<br />
<br />
We all deserve better.</div>

This is a great story in "keeping it human" as factory adapts
to world of out source and sweatshop norms without losing sight of the
larger reality. Yeah for L. C King in Bristol Tennessee.<br />
<br />
Okay and a nod to the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/15/fashion/a-tennessee-clothing-factory-keeps-up-the-old-ways.html?pagewanted=1&_r=0&nl=style&emc=edit_cl_20130815" target="_blank">New York Times</a> for a real, uplifting and timely story.

When what "we" in the so called "1st world countries" accept, enable, promote for a lifestyle that is pushed by consumerism and the financialization of everything; life itself is in trouble. A need to grow, extort , exploit everything and everybody is not a good way to make friends. No wonder we are so unhappy, unhealthy and anxious.<br />
<br />
The USA is proving grounds for dis-ease in systems based on archaiac visions of who and what we as human beings are and why we are here.<br />
.<br />
Maturing as a species means removing our blinders, to stop justifying our actions and getting to "super real" with transparency, respect, responsibility and realization of how all of life interrelates, is connected and health requires diversity, creativity and curiosity. This is good stuff once the hurdle is jumped. <br />
<br />
This is how we can reconcile and heal. We have what it takes. <br />
<br />
When we look to the whole as one, it is easy to see the how there is no "over there," no "other" <br />
<br />
Helping each other realize the possible is up to each of us.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">People who successfully tackle big
social, environmental, and economic problems are driven by what I call
a moment of obligation — a specific time in their life when they felt
compelled to act. These moments become their North Star; they keep them going
in a positive direction when everything seems dark. The obligation is not only
to the world but also to themselves.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Activists or social entrepreneurs
aren't the only ones who are moved this way. We all have experiences that
deeply inform who we are and what we are supposed to do. But only if we allow
them to….</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
We've all been deeply moved by problems in the world. We see that something
isn't right, that a community deserves better, or a social injustice needs to
be corrected. It could be that something terrible — or even something wonderful
— happens to us or someone we know. Perhaps we witness an injustice. Perhaps we
simply read an article about one, but something about it moves us as powerfully
as if we were the one who wrote it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, many of us are not prepared to recognize these moments for
what they are. As a result, we let them pass by. We chalk them up to emotional
experiences or brief blips of inspiration and move on with our daily routine.
And we lose out on creating meaningful careers and lives.<br />
Here are a few tips for recognizing your own moments of obligation.<br />
<br />
<b>They're strong</b>. You can recognize the moment by the intense
feelings it invokes. The moment itself doesn't necessarily need to be dramatic,
but what it brings up in you is.<br />
<br />
<b>They keep showing up</b>. Sometimes, the experiences will
reoccur. You'll notice an issue again and again. Patterns will emerge and you
will see that, for whatever reason, you are drawn to delve deeper into this
particular issue.<br />
<br />
<b>They're personal</b>. The moments are very often personally
meaningful. They are connected to your own experiences, or the experiences of
people you care most about, the way in which Socheata's moment of obligation
was.<br />
<br />
<b>They take hold</b>. Finally, they just won't let you go. They
scream for your attention, creeping into your mind when you are minding your
own business — sitting on the couch, watching TV, or trying to get a good
night's sleep.<br />
Everyone is moved this way from time to time, but what sets those who help
solve the world's biggest problems apart is the decision to turn that feeling
into action. They say, "Someone has to take responsibility for this
problem. And that someone is me."<br />

Corset damage was ignored, even as fainting spells rose. Fainting became a sign of feminine delicacy so symptom relief was sought rather than going for the prevention. (Until some flagrant feminist, some outrageous pioneer of garb said, "Wait a minute, girding my torso is torture and i won't take it any more!" Does this sound familiar?<br />

What we do for "fashion" is often weird.<br />
<br />
Loving the creative, fun, multi aesthetic variables still holds my style attention even as i try to unravel the good from the bad- in an attempt to <i>not</i> throw another baby out with that bathwater ( Grey water needs a re-use there too!)<br />
<br />
After seeing <b><a href="http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/psywar/" target="_blank">Psywar</a></b> last night at <a href="http://www.meaningfulmovies.org/" target="_blank">Meaningful Movies</a>, i understand how women were sold the "look" of the high and mighty and even a lot about the "why." However i fail to understand why the wealthy women would start or adapt to the "look" created by X if it hurt.<br />
<br />
The idea of the expert over rules the good sense of those iin power or X had some kind of hold on Y the wealthy fashionista ...or and this one takes my vote:<br />
<br />
Because when Y sashays into the dinner party or soiree with a totally new and unexpected garment; all the ladies gasp, applaud, or turn to another to gossip quietly of said spectacle.<br />
<br />It is all good!! How,?<br />
<br />
The attention!!<br />
<br />
She is in command of the room, she is feeling the ego rush her hubby feels when he mows down workers attempt to unionize, when he closes the deal that will wipe out the forests of New York etc. <br />
<br />
According to a book i read along time ago about the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astor_family" target="_blank">Astor's of NYC</a> in 1800s , he ruled the boardroom, she ruled the social pecking order. Sweet - as this so works into how the myths maintain power, knowing when and what to socialize while privatizing the profits looks a little like "equal, but different."<br />

fashion victims of unethical clothing production. Inspired by the April
24 disaster in Bangladesh, where at least 1,127 garment workers lost
their lives, Dominguez "buried" several well-dressed women under piles
of rubble, their projecting limbs a clear evocation of the images of <a href="http://www.ecouterre.com/a-haunting-embrace-amid-the-rubble-of-the-bangladesh-building-collapse/">mangled bodies</a> that emerged in the tragedy's aftermath."<br />

I had a sweet conversation with a couple of Nordic Dancers at <a href="http://www.nwfolklife.org/festival/" target="_blank">Folklife </a>yesterday.<br />
<br />
I was sketching a velvet vest encrusted with garish embroidery. A woman
sitting next to me noticed and started talking costume and i learned a lot
about blouses in trunks and traveling fabrics, repurposed drapes and a
wonderous belt i can only imagine.<br />
<br />
Her friend joined the conversation as she was a costumer for the dance troupe.
She made new pieces based on the old handmade costumes.<br />
<br />
This is where the soul of the handmade entered the discourse. She told me
how people would say, “oh, that is so wonderful, just like the original garment,”
and she would say, “ no, no it isn't , they may look similar but they are not
the same.” <br />
<br />
She spoke of the hand of the garments the look of the backs , the colors. How
the hours and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>hours of handwork came
after the growing, harvesting and weaving of the flax. She understood how the
whole of the process that informs the original pieces, cannot really compare
with what we can “afford” to do today. <br />
<br />
Isn’t it strange? We can afford to live in material overload and yet we
cannot “afford” to live where the soul of life, where our hearts and joys
manifest<br />
<br />
I believe our creative processes uncover the gifts we are meant to share
with the world. This is why individualism makes sense in the whole of the multi
verse (Amit Goswami) that is “All” <br />
<br />
I am thinking how losing the time, space and essence of this work of finding
true purpose (albeit not vocalized or even necessarily a conscious thought back
in the days of lore) is a deadly thing.<br />
<br />
When we throw so much under the “bus of profit and growth” in the name of
progress; what are we growing, at what cost and who gets to decide if this is
really progress?<br />
<br />
And what is carried into the world by the "fast fashion" garment produced in a sweatshop?
What aura persists after the label goes on? <br />
<br />
Pandora’s Box of bad juju, every time the plastic is pulled off the tee
shirt bundle, a little more sadness is
released into the world. Trade is more than a material transfer. <br />

Fashion -what you see is only the tip of a vast machine!</div>
<br />
The recent tragedy in Bangladesh reminds me of another sweatshop disaster. <br />
<br />
The one I am referencing was in New York City, 1911 and claimed the lives of 146 women. That <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fire" target="_blank">Triangle Shirtwaist</a> fire was so horrifying to the people of the city that they demanded changes in regulations and policies. <br />
<br />
“<span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Three months after the fire, Governor John
A. Dix signed a law creating the Factory Investigating Commission. Following
the findings of the commission, the New York State Legislature enacted 36
statutes to regulate <a href="http://www.wnyc.org/articles/wnyc-news/2011/mar/21/100-years-later-remembering-triangle-shirtwaist-factory-fire/" id="_GPLITA_0" in_hdr="" in_rurl="http://i.trkjmp.com/click?v=VVM6MjkyMTg6MTMwNDp3b3JrcGxhY2UgZmlyZSBzYWZldHk6ZTdhZGM5N2QwZWE5ZDA0ZTQ5NTgxZTBmNzVkMzQ0MDc6ei0xMzg0LTE2NTQ5NDp3d3cud255Yy5vcmc6MjQzNDg6NjUxMmI0ODg0NTNmZjIyZTU4YzI3YzNmOTk4YTY5NDA" sab="1194" title="Click to Continue > by Deal Spy"><u><span style="color: black;">workplace fire safety</span></u></a> and ventilation, and to set minimum

This helped the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Ladies%27_Garment_Workers%27_Union" target="_blank"> Unions</a> gather the strength they needed to push for fair wages and decent working conditions.<br />
<br />
Like the garment workers in Bangladesh, the women were locked into the building with little heed paid to their well being as whole human beings. <br />
<br />
Back to NYC back in the day- workers were considered by some people as "things" to be used and tossed aside when their usefulness was over. As many of the women were immigrants (insourced workers) this parallels outsource capitalism in a weird way.<br />
<br />
Cheap transportation (subsidized oil) allows stuff to be shipped to consumers at rates that undermine local goods and labor. This is a matter of relativity that the Free Trade dogma ignores in pursuit of market advantage. Considered "good for the economy" aka good for the people who take 'advantage" of the resources around them while giving back as little as possible; it in fact depletes the economic "soil" similar to the chem subsidy our food crops have endured. And like the story of the food crops, depleted soils become dead soils aka deserts. <br />
<br />
So outsource is akin to the tactics employed by the Industrialists as they "designed" immigration policy. But now instead of importing labor, companies can just import the products. This minimizes their responsibility for the conditions that the worker's endure and many other possible risks and problems.. <br />
<br />
However the backbone of this story that revolves around wealth, power, entitlement and dominion over others includes the right to lord it over the Earth, animals and plants as well. This story is older than nations and yet it continues.. <br />
<br />
So despite it's age, the story is still honed, redressed and passed forward. It continues to protect hierarchy and reward wealth as it's own <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raison_d%27%C3%AAtre" target="_blank">raison d'etre</a>. It isn't.<br />
<br />
Stopping abuse in sweatshops is just one facet of this many layered mess. However it is something we can take on.<br />
<br />
.Stop buying clothing unless it is totally needed. Ask stores where the Fair Trade goods are kept. Ask who and how the items were made. Try to discuss product lifecycles. <br />
<br />
You will be cajoled, laughed at, ignored or you just might strike up a conversation that will make your day.<br />
<br />
I know this. I do it and have seen more good energy than else , so I recommend this action.<br />
<br />
Want more: See if there is a sewing group in your area or start one. Discuss cool things to make out of other things that are no longer useful. Search the refashion and recycouture blogs and websites for ideas, inspiration. Practice what you believe.<br />
<br />
As for Bangladesh, my heart goes out to all those who are suffering, all those who have been harmed by product madness. I am sending out healing energy thoughts, sending out love. <br />
<br />
So now I wonder, if this time, as in after the Triangle Fire, policies and regulations will be changed to support the human beings who trade their time and energy in hope of fair and adequate compensation. I hope that this time we will turn from the pushy profiteering model and design an economic platform that honors life. <br />
<br />
I wonder if this time we will start the evolution towards a super conscious reality. I wonder and I am believing we will.

<a href="http://btillc.com/life-style-tshirt.html" target="_blank">Product Life Cycles</a> are part of the unified field viewpoint. <br />
<br />
When we learn to see total pictures and therefore full costs, we will learn to weigh the world's valuable collective assets in a better light. When we do, I have great faith that we will reassign the language of wealth and prosperity in ways that align with the principles of life, planet systems and evolution. <br />
<br />
I believe we are in a living uni-verse. Our planet is a design of biotic and abiotic systems that support life and we need to understand that this is about symbiotic relationships, as eventually what we do, say, see, feel, think, hear and touch is connected to all else.<br />
<br />
Early industrialists saw Nature as bountiful, infinite even, and was there to use, to take advantage of and to capitalize upon. This ideology stems from Judeo/Christian pull quotes and ego inflated man/god constructs that are still alive and kicking today. (see the Takers in <strong><em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael_(novel)" target="_blank">Ishmael</a></em></strong> novel by Daniel Quinn)<br />
<br />
Guess what? The concepts are wrong, killer even, and therefore against the best interests of even those who maintain the main frame. (idea framing as handed down via the culture formally and informally) Is this crazy or what?<br />
<br />
Seriously, we are capable of much more than we thought or were taught to think. When we open up to new ideas, more possibilities open up as well. <br />
<br />
We are growing up, maturing as a species and taking on the heart, spirit energies we once were told to diss for having no scientific proof behind them.<br />
<br />
Now, thanks to our advanced technology, we have the measuring tools that provide our senses with the opportunity to see the "unseen" and hear the never before heard. We are transitioning from the concrete, machine thinking of Newton physics and shaking off the debris and saying "yes" to the next chapter in the unfolding of who we are, the i am and the becoming.deborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14801168624677603966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618404495898860667.post-41623201868887689662013-02-27T06:39:00.000-08:002013-02-27T06:53:18.458-08:00Build for Life<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Great talk on design for health and the real world, where "away" is here. <strong><em>Cradle to Cradle</em></strong> on <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/william_mcdonough_on_cradle_to_cradle_design.html" target="_blank">TED</a>, presented by William McDonnough<br />
<br />
Works much like the de-abstraction of the word "now" as in the context that now is all we really have and is where change must manifest. Therefore i try to inhabit the vision of that which i wish to manifest as often as possible. . <br />
<br />
Framed by a quantum window, sending this TED talk forward makes for a meaningful now and that counts. <br />
<br />
Create intentionally, now. <br />
