Textiles and materials
Description
The textile industry, at the forefront of the industrial revolution for several centuries, is one of the planet’s most polluting modern-day industries. Of principle concern is the cultivation of cotton which is a heavy consumer of pesticides. It is high time for a new industrial revolution. This is exactly what Yanne Larosa (Montrea, Quebec), Dany Filion (Vancouver, BC) and Sarah Bonnemaison (Halifax, NS) are working towards on a daily basis.
