Wool
I must confess, I’m not a fan of any livestock farming. But I’m also a pragmatist, and in the search for climate positive, circular solutions, it seems like wool is making a strong case. Sheep Inc. has demonstrated that by using regenerative agriculture on their sheep farms in New Zealand, they sequester enough carbon to make their hoodies carbon negative, taking into account their full life cycle impacts. They go further by using renewable energy and avoiding chemical additives so that their products are fully biodegradable. The carbon dividends from regenerative farming could transform the fashion and textiles industry.
